🌾 Amaranth at Mission Garden. 🌾 The Early Agriculture Garden is glowing with the vibrant colors of amaranth (Amaranthus cruentus) — a striking plant with deep roots in indigenous food traditions. This heat-loving domesticated plant sprouts in spring and thrives all summer long.

🌼 Desert in Bloom at the Michael Moore Medicinal Garden. 🌼 Right now, the buckwheat bush (Eriogonum fasciculatum), also known as maderista, is in full bloom at the Michael Moore Medicinal Garden at @missiongarden — and it’s a stunning reminder of the desert’s resilience and bounty, even in these warmer months. 🌞🌵 With its delicate blossoms and deep roots in traditional medicine, this native plant is a favorite among pollinators and desert healers alike.

I've always been fascinated by the history and culture of the Tohono O'odham. It's amazing to see how Mission Garden brings that knowledge to life through its beautiful living museum! 🌺✨ Keep up the great work, Friends of Tucson's Birthplace!
