Several of our gardens are now full – Benedictine, Sabino Vista, St. Gregory and Sunrise. The other 6 gardens – Chaverim, Highland Vista, Keeling, New Spirit, Presidio, and S.A.R.G. – all have vacancies and we would be happy to talk to potential gardeners and help them find a garden convenient for them. Please refer your friends.
S.A.R.G. (Southern Arizona Rain Gutters) Garden is our newest garden. With this garden we finally have a garden close to downtown. It is on Stone, near Speedway. It is just starting and is not quite ready for gardeners yet but it will be soon. Contact us to reserve your plot. We hope to learn a lot about incorporating rain water harvesting at this site.
Mountain Vista UU Garden is our other very new garden and with it we finally have a garden on the northwest side of town. It is located in a beautiful setting near Ina and Thornydale. Please contact us if you would like more information.

We use a lot of tools in our gardens and sometimes they get broken. We have quite a few shovels with broken handles. Do any of you have any ideas about what to do with all of these shovels? We can buy new shovels for $6.99 and replacement handles usually cost as much or more. Is there a place to buy new handles for less? What is the answer?

It takes a couple thousand dollars to put in every new garden. In the past year, we have nearly tripled in size, growing from 4 gardens to 11 gardens. Believe it or not, CGT missed out on literally hundreds of thousands of dollars of grants this past year. Our organization needs to build relationships within our community for many reasons but some of those reasons include learning about grant opportunities and partnering with other organizations to win grants. If you think that you can help with grant applications, please contact us.
