Come Garden With Us!
If you’ve ever wished you could grow your own tasty organic food, Community Gardens of Tucson has a plot for you! We have 20 gardens located across the city, each with automatic irrigation and tools. And when you garden with us you become a member of a supportive gardening community that is with you every step of the way. Meet new friends and have lots of fun while enjoying your harvest!
We garden organically, practice water conservation and other natural methods to protect our environment. We create a space for sharing knowledge, cultures, and traditions between generations. We offer plot fee assistance and work exchange to those who need help, and we inspire children through our Kids in Gardens education program.
We know we can only be strong when our gardeners are as diverse as the plants we nourish. We share, work, learn and grow together, especially during these challenging times… This is the heart of community gardening. Join us!
“CGT has been the place we run to to escape isolation. It helped me [when my hours were cut] and my wife because she lost her job…Economically, despite COVID we needed food…and we were still getting food from the community gardens.”

This video highlights our Vision, Mission and Values. Theses will be our guiding principles for this new decade and a changing world. To create a community where everyone is able to grow, share and learn. Together.
CGT is participating in the 2021 Millions for Tucson program, an annual city-wide fundraising event that last year raised more than $1,000,000 for hundreds of local charities. Your participation of as little as $25.00 will qualify you to win one of three amazing prizes, and 100% of every dollar you donate goes to support CGT’s programs!
