In addition to the educational opportunities at BGO, volunteers are working with the Youth Center Community Garden, harvesting produce for the Food Bank in Springdale and educating youth on where food comes from. BGO is developing a partnership with a group planning to have community gardens for both food and flowers.

Community members and businesses have truly supported the construction of the BGO site. Special mention goes to Revelle Irrigation for donating installation of the irrigation system, Don Hurlbut for constructing a water feature, Ron Troutman of Boulder Construction for finding the best affordable construction materials, Amirmoez Foster Hailey Johnson Architects for donating design fees for the Rose Arbor. Gerald Klingaman, retired UA Horticulture Professor, built the Eagle’s Nest in the Children’s garden and is an invaluable source of recommendations and innovative ideas.
