Community Gardens of Tucson (CGT) is all about connecting Tucson’s green thumbs with a space to grow fresh produce while nurturing a sense of community.
Since 1990, CGT has created accessible gardens where locals can rent a plot, dig in, and cultivate everything from veggies to flowers. The nonprofit provides essentials like water, tools, and expert advice, making it easy for anyone to thrive — whether you’re a gardening pro or just getting your hands dirty for the first time.
Plus, it’s all about sustainable, local food and strengthening neighborhood bonds.
From 4 – 6 p.m. on Sunday, September 29, CGT is hosting its annual fall fundraiser and Chile Festival at the Gregory School Garden, 3231 N. Craycroft Rd.
“Let’s celebrate fall together with a spicy twist!”
At the garden, there’s going to be live music, chile-inspired dishes and drinks available to purchase, and fun activities for the whole family.
Plus, they’ll have a farmers market, silent auction, and a showcase of local artists and makers!
You can see photos of the auction items here.
The Chile Festival is not only a fun, annual event but also a great opportunity to support the Community Gardens and other local businesses.
This year’s Chile Festival is happening at Gregory School Garden, 3231 N. Craycroft Rd. For more information, follow Community Gardens of Tucson on Facebook.
