FREE and open to the public, for all ages. All monetary gifts are appreciated. Your gifts help the garden grow.
Mission Garden grows hundreds of traditional local crops. Tasting History is a new opportunity to learn about their origins, how they became part of our local agricultural and culinary traditions, how to grow them at home, and more. Docents will demonstrate and share tastings, written materials and recipes.
In December we feature squash grown in Mission Garden. We’ll talk about the origins of squash, when they started to be grown in Tucson, and how best to grow squash. Our experts will demonstrate ways of preserving squash and some of the many ways of using fresh squash! There will be samples to taste!
Please reach out to Kendall Kroesen, Mission Garden Outreach Coordinator at kendall@missiongarden.org for additional information.
