SUMMARY:Mission Garden: Cultivating Ethnobotanical Knowledge Across Time and Space - A Conversation with Alejandro de Ávila and Jacelle Ramon-Sauberan
DESCRIPTION:Join Mission Garden in collaboration with the American Philosophical Society for a conversation about the histories and legacies of botanical gardens throughout the continent. The program brings together examples from the Bartram family’s 18th-century garden in Philadelphia\, the Jardín Etnobiológico in Oaxaca\, and Mission Garden’s connections to the greater Tucson region to consider the importance of ethnobotanical knowledge across time and space. Together\, participants will reflect on topics including the impact of colonialism on plant cultivation and exchange\, the relationship between botanical gardens and Indigenous food sovereignty\, and the material challenges and practical considerations involved with stewarding gardens as sites for scientific and public engagement. \nThe program features Dr. Alejandro de Ávila (APS 2025)\, founding director of the Jardín Etnobiológico de Oaxaca\, in dialogue with Dr. Jacelle Ramon-Sauberan\, adjunct instructor in the Tohono O’odham Studies Program at Tohono O’odham Community College. They will be joined by Dr. Patrick Spero\, CEO of the American Philosophical Society\, and Dr. Gary Nabhan\, Research Social Scientist Emeritus at the University of Arizona. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis conversation is part of “America’s Scientific Revolutionaries\,” a two-year initiative funded by the Richard Lounsbery Foundation highlighting the work of lesser-known scientists and physicians active during the Revolutionary era. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe program will be followed by a reception featuring local foods and tea prepared by San Xavier Cooperative Farm. \nThis event is free and open to the public. Please register to attend\, as seating is limited.

Read more about quince in Mission Garden. \nTo learn more\, contact Abby Rhinehart at abby@missiongarden.org. \nFREE and open to the public\, for all ages\nDrop by any time between 9am-11am on either Friday or Saturday

SUMMARY:Mission Garden: Dragonfly Day at Mission Garden
DESCRIPTION:The Mission Garden acequia (irrigation canal) runs through the garden\, mirroring an ancient canal once used by Hohokam farmers. Soon after we installed the acequia\, dragonflies and damselflies returned to the garden. \nCome celebrate these fascinating creatures with Dragonfly Day at Mission Garden\, part of the larger Dragonfly Festival! Family friendly and open to all\, no prior knowledge required! \nActivities: \n\n\nAt 9am\, 9:45am\, and 10:30am: Take a guided tour with expert Doug Danforth to discover the dragonflies thriving in the garden. You must register in advance for a tour: REGISTER \n\n\nDrop-in\, bilingual family programming with Pima County Environmental Education\, including crafts\, stories\, and exploration of the insects living in the acequia. \n\n\nView the art installation “Landing Place\,” which celebrates the Santa Cruz River and the life it sustains; Mission Garden will be one of four sites for this art in September 2025. \n\n\nThis is part of the seventh annual annual Dragonfly Festival\, a celebration of dragonflies on the Santa Cruz River. \nAbout the Tours: Mission Garden paths are not paved\, but are made of compacted material that is ADA compatible\, relatively flat\, and suitable for wheelchairs and walkers and thus our most accessible tour location.
