The Foxtail Community Garden began in 2020 as a senior project and as a recipient of ASU’s Change Maker Grant. With the grant and help of the community, we transformed a vacant lot into a community garden that now has two raised communal beds, sixteen personal plots, seasonal crop beds, and a teaching area. The Foxtail Community Garden is a small but growing community of ASU students, local neighbors, garden enthusiasts, and newbies alike who are passionate about community, food sustainability, and biodiversity in urban areas.
The Garden is located at Tempe Church of Christ on Mill Avenue and is a part of the church’s Ecotheology program. Ecotheology describes an ecological approach to theology that emphasizes the necessity of a mutually benefiting relationship between humans, nonhuman beings, and the land. The church sees the garden as a way to practice good stewardship of the land and to be more socially embedded and helpful to the Tempe community.

You can join the garden community and help care for our communal areas or you can rent an individual plot for $15 per season. We provide irrigation, tools, and guidance for new gardeners. Connect with Kathryn, our Garden Coordinator, to learn more and tour the garden.

We partner with Sun Produce to make local and seasonal produce available in our community! There are two sizes of bags for purchase to be picked up once a month and 10% of every purchase supports the garden. If you're interested, you can find out more and subscribe using the link below.
Purchased bags can be picked up the last Saturday of the month and must be ordered the week prior.

Join us every Tuesday from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. to work on specific garden projects and tend to general garden maintenance. This is also the perfect opportunity to learn more about reserving your own plot. No experience or tools are needed!

At our garden book club we expand our understanding of sustainability and communal responsibility through engaging books and discussion with each other.
Garden book club meets every other Sunday evening. Contact Kathryn if you are interested in being a part of the conversation.

The Garden Stand is a part of a nonprofit project throughout Arizona that offers free seeds, plants, and gardening supplies to the community. All items are donated by members of the community and are free. Find a gem for your garden or bring a donation for someone else to find!

The Foxtail Community Garden operates entirely off of community support. If you would like to support the garden financially, please use the secure link below.

Through the Leadership Training Institute Kathryn serves as our Ecotheology Apprentice and is the current coordinator of the Foxtail Community Garden. Kathryn graduated with a Bachelor's degree in Sustainability at ASU. She cares deeply for creation and helping us expand our role as caretakers of the earth. Kathryn is your first point of contact if you have any questions about the garden or would like to be involved in any capacity. Contact Kathryn at kblaha@asu.edu to discuss the possibilities!
