We have 3 waist-high "Keyhole Garden Beds" built by Brett Bell and his crew for his Eagle Scout Project. Thanks, Brett!!
One of our three Keyhole Gardens at Ahwatukee Community Garden Project. We filled one keyhole on July 20, 2014, and the second two on Sept. 28, 2014. A Boy Scout constructed these for his Eagle Scout project, Brett.

Demo Garden
The Ahwatukee Community Garden Demo Garden was built and initially planted in the summer of 2012.
Kelly Athena shows two young visitors how to harvest calendula flowers.
Since then we have provided produce to a local food bank. We also share vegetables, herbs, and flowers with gardeners and volunteers.
