Rio Salado Audubon Center offers new twist on community gardening
im

Across the country, community gardens are all a-buzz. Families, neighbors, community groups, and individuals are coming together to work patches of land and grow their own food or create beautiful native gardens. Audubon Arizona is excited to be a part of this growing movement with the expansion of its new pollinator garden in the Rio Salado habitat.

Starting in September, The Nina Mason Pulliam Rio Salado Audubon Center will host garden workdays to create a lush, native pollinator garden, and we need your help! Join us every third Saturday of the month from 8am to noon to help install the garden. Be a part of this exciting new project to beautify South Phoenix and the Rio Salado habitat restoration project, while helping attract much-needed pollinators to the habitat. This is a great way to give back to your community! Neighbors, families, teachers, school & community groups--participants ages 10 and up are welcome!
