Barrio Garden
Barrio Garden
A small gardener’s garden,
this barrio-inspired landscape
reflects a traditional sense of
place where family and
heritage guide the growing of
plants that nurture both body
and spirit. Often hidden
behind sheltering walls,
these gardens remain an
integral part of Tucson’s Hispanic cultures.
Generations of families and neighbors gather to
celebrate the milestones of their lives, as well as
conduct the daily routines of cooking, eating, and
sleeping in these protected, green spaces.
For all who love their gardens and the day-to-day
interaction with their plants, this garden is more
than just a place, it is a story that only unfolds
over time.

The signature plants of
these gardens are
species that are easily
cultivated
and
propagated, shared
amongst neighbors or
given as gifts. Species
such as citrus, fig, and
pomegranate are for
eating; chilies are for
spice; basil, cilantro,
and tarragon are for
s e a s o n i n g ;
chamomile, epazote,
and lemongrass heal
the body; and, iris, marigolds, and roses are grown
simply for the love of flowers.
From a design standpoint, the formal arrangement
of the space is secondary to the usefulness of its
layout. What may appear to be a haphazard
arrangement of plants and hardscape is actually
an instinctual design with a functional basis.
