History
The park was first conceptualized in 2003 as a part of a 1999 ballot initiative approved to preserve and reconstruct the site of Mission San Cosme y Damián de Tucsón. In 2012, the Spanish Colonial Heritage Fruit Tree Orchard was planted. The garden was gradually expanded to encompass a variety of historical and contemporary agricultural techniques utilized by cultural groups around the world. In 2015, UNESCO recognized Tucson as a part of its Creative Cities Network for its commitment to strengthening its unique gastronomy-based economy and sustainable urban development. In early 2020, the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in Arizona slowed construction progress. See also
