The Mission Garden celebrates over 4000 years of cultivation history at the foot of A Mountain/Sentinel Peak/Black Mountain. Revived and revitalized in 2008, the Garden pays homage to the different cultures and communities who have called Tucson home over the centuries, with sections within the Garden heralding the different eras of populous. They sell the majority of their produce to local restaurants and purveyors, and provide food for relief groups to help feed those less fortunate. I would love to come back and partake of the amazing figs, pomegranates, and quince growing.

Beautiful garden with so many beautiful crops. I recommend visiting, especially in the spring time! Everything is so beautiful in bloom.

Lovely place. And it has grown since the last time we were there.

This is the historical birthplace of Tucson. You can learn a lot about what has been grown and what has thrived here in our valley. Irrigation through out history in our valley is discussed (if you take the tour) and explained. Many events are offered which I intend to take part in.

We went to Mission Garden for an evening event. Beautiful place and amazing volunteers. The kids had so much fun. A little gem in our city

Great volunteers that answered all of our questions. Such interesting history here. Well be back.

Great way to learn about Tucsons history! Lots of nice docents to tell about the early history of the area, all the way back to the first natives to farm our valley. Allow at least 2 hours to roam the area and note the plants that you can grow in your own backyard.

While I appreciate the history, this place as a tourist destination needs a lot of work. We did not feel welcome when we entered. In fact, the men working there were joking to themselves, cussing, singing and spitting. It was bizarre. They were working around the gardens doing maintenance but acting very unprofessional. The whole place could use some structure, more signage as to what exactly we are looking at, where we should go, etc. There was no information except inside the small building on the site which we discovered at the very end because nobody spoke to us UNTIL the end. Youll wander through this place in 10 minutes because theres no signs to read. This is typical Tucson, not up to par with other places across the country.

It is so fascinating to learn about the agriculture and history of the place. It is relaxing to walk around.

Truly historical and an amazing garden- many great events and fun volunteer opportunity

First visit here, came for tai chi and had the chance to look around talk and gander through the fresh pickings of veggies and herbs. Looking forward to next week.

Year round beauty. See where gardening began in North America. Native Odohom Storyteller in this photo. Its happening here all year!

All naturalistic veggies

Wow...history exemplified. Very wonderful site. Informational docents.

The most relevant garden in Tucson!

Volunteering at Mission Garden is a great way to see the beauty of Tucson. The other volunteers are so friendly and everyone is eager to learn new things. My favorite part is walking through the orchard in thats in full bloom. However, it came be hard to find a member if you need since theyre so busy, but theres plenty to do so you dont notice.

Serene and peaceful. And it smells good. There were just a few sprinkles of rain.

A very nice and beautifu place

A short walk west from downtown is an emerging historic space which is reproducing the original agricultural activities of the people who have settled the area. An educational opportunity for kids who need to learn about the past and for transplants to the city. Open intermittently so check. Plenty of parking.

It was very informative and welcoming. Staff were very knowledgeable. A great place to learn about Tucsons history!

A calm delightful oasis.

Meet at gate by a fellow who explained everything, showed us interesting information. We bought great t-shirts. There was also an active exhibition of flint knapping. Great visit learned a lot

Early November things are winding down so a lot is fallow. Needs more labeling on plants. Will be checking it out next year to see what it looks like when thing are really alive again.

Wonderful gardening of native plants.

Beautiful. Amazing orchards, figs, pomegranates, and many other agricultural plants. Dont miss this.

On Saturday morning every couple of weeks they have a breakfast

The staff of the Mission Garden hosted a group of Docents from the Tucson Museum of Art this past week. It was a glorious morning with many of the plants blooming and/or preparing to fruit. Our knowledgeable guide shared with us the history of the plants and how they illustrated the gardening techniques and cultural heritage of the people who planted them. A walk in the Mission Garden is a walk through time in Tucson.

Cool beans!

An amazing place.A gem in Tucson. Created by loving and knowledgeable hands.

Another piece of the puzzle demonstrating why Tucson has a true sense of place. Stroll the fruit tree gardens with varieties from the time of Father Kino. The gardens show the importance of Native American, Mexican, European and Chinese influence on the Borderlands better than any other in the region. This is all accomplished with just three fulltime staff members and hard working volunteers.This is the real Tucson.

Mission Garden is an important historical site for Tucson and Arizona.

An unexpected oasis near the foot of A Mountain. The origins of Tucson are here, and it is just a short walk around the gardens. Jose was friendly, knowledgeable, and informative.

Garden is so peaceful and so relaxing

Hello have a Blessed day with your family and friends

Exciting and good guiding. Learned a lot.

Love my home in this neighborhood!

A garden with a great mission of preserving special trees!

Keeping Tucsons history alive. Volunteers have recreated a slice of our past - at 4000 years and going. The orchard, the Adobe wall. And the best is yet to come.

This place is an unknown, hidden gem. You should visit!

Dont like it atall should be taken to orovalley not here it aint for the comunity on the west side who have been here40years but for people who are inflotrating are side of town foreal

A great place to learn about early Tucson.

A nice start to the Rio Nuevo recreation of Mission San Augustin, but more needs to be done and on a greater scale to help encapsulate the historic Tucson experience.

Lovely, historic garden

Very culturaly segregated, Although in A latino comunity or Barrio dont see much people of color well no people of color would like to see A community thing almost all people are not from the westside
