The Mission Garden is a re-creation of the Spanish Colonial walled garden that was part of Tucson’s historic San Agustin Mission. Rebuilt on its original site and located west of downtown Tucson at the corner of Mission Rd and Mission Ln, the Garden features heirloom plants and living and Timeline Gardens, interpreting 4,000 years of Tucson agriculture. You can learn more about them at http://www.tucsonsbirthplace.org/

KXCI is very much a part of our local (and now world-wide, with live streaming) community offering an eclectic blend of music, culture, news and good old-fashioned programming with real djays.

Being a part of the community is important to us. One of Tucson’s most embraced events is the All Souls Procession. Everyone is welcome to join in the many activities, workshops and exhibitions that lead up the the Procession itself. The Gloo Factory participates by screen printing the official All Souls t-shirts, which help raise funds for the event. The All Souls Procession is organized by Many Mouths One Stomach.
Friends of Pima County Public Library visit the Gloo Factory and learn how to screen print tshirts that they will wear in the 2011 All Souls Procession. The Friends of the PCPL is a non-profit organization in existence since 1969 and helps support the library system by raising funds. It is a community effort to promote literacy, the love of books and library programming.
Tucson Bus Riders Union recently formed to organize and get protection for Tucson’s bus riding community. The City of Tucson has continued raising fares in these troubled economic and environmental times. Instead, it would make more sense for the city to offer affordable public transportation.
