Grow Food. Build Community. Cultivate Connection.
Nestled in the heart of Tempe, the Escalante Community Garden is a place where neighbors come together to learn, volunteer, and build a healthier, more connected community.
Whether you're an experienced gardener or planting your very first seed, you'll find a welcoming space to grow fresh, organic produce while helping care for a shared community resource.
Growing More Than Gardens
At Tempe Community Action Agency, we believe healthy communities begin with access to nutritious food, meaningful connections, and opportunities to give back. The Escalante Community Garden is a place where neighbors grow fresh food, learn sustainable gardening practices, care for the environment, and build lasting community connections.
