Mesa Urban Garden

The Mesa Urban Garden in downtown Mesa, Arizona is thriving! The cooperatively run community garden was begun in July 2012. It is located at 212 East 1st Ave, just a few blocks east of the Mesa Arts Center. This organization provides fresh food to the community and local food banks. To get involved contact them through their website http://mesaurbangarden.org.

Earlier this summer we saw the first blooming of our youngest saguaro (left photo), as well as the first blooms ever on our Organ Pipe cacti (right photo, foreground). Towering in the rear of the photo on the right are our beloved, mature saguaros, reliably blooming every year and sometimes even twice a year!

The Shemer Art Center and Museum is an art education facility and gallery in the Arcadia district of Phoenix. It was founded in 1984 by Martha Shemer, who purchased a Mission-style house and three acres not only to preserve the property but to donate it to the City of Phoenix to be used for art education. Budget constraints nearly closed the center in 2010, but citizens founded the Shemer Art Center and Museum Association to help manage and preserve the facility.
