AT LAST, PLANTING THE MISSION GARDEN WILL BE A REALITY!
A breakthrough Operating Agreement signed by The City of Tucson, Pima County and Friends of Tucson’s Birthplace gives the Friends permission to develop, plant and operate the Garden for the next 5 years!
Now the real work begins! Preparation for the water hookup has already started. Also, Request for Proposals are going out for the work required to install irrigation lines and to plant the Kino Heritage Tree Orchard.
More good news? Friends Of Tucson’s Birthplace has just received a $2500 challenge grant. If you are among our wide community of friends, this is your chance to help the garden grow! Click here to donate now so Friends can see an additional $5000 in our budget by the end of 2011. Donations are tax-deductible and please hurry, the challenge grant expires on December 31st. Thank you!
