Be part of history and the future! Join us at Mission Garden to plant agave in the traditional Hohokam style, inspired by ancient plantings on Tumamoc Hill. These agave plants will provide food for bat pollinators and may even become roasted at a future festival.

No experience is needed, and families are encouraged to join! We’ll provide all tools and gloves—just bring your enthusiasm, long pants, and a hat for sun protection.

Planting begins at 8am At 10am, Curator Dena Cowan will lead a tour of the agave planted throughout the garden, including in our new Tomorrow’s Garden.
