Spaces of Opportunity Garden Phoenix

Here at Tiger Mountain Foundation, we make it our goal to help our local community become great and grow together as one. We work with Spaces of Opportunity Garden Phoenix. That said our community garden helps those who are in need. The TigerMountain Foundation reverses problems through our community gardens and landscaping initiatives. These initiatives teach practical life skills to kids, adults, and seniors, keeping them out of jail, and improving their lives and community.

The Tiger Mountian Foundation empowers the community to help itself as well as bringing our fruits and veggies to local farmer’s markets. Our multi-cultural, inter-generational Asset Based Community Development (ABCD) means we don’t give a handout, we give the community a hand up.

Agriscaping, What is it?

Agriscaping with Tiger Mountain is truly an incredible experience. But first, let’s go over the basics of Agriscaping. Agriscaping is also a foundation of a landscape that creatively and elegantly integrates elements of productive agriculture. So, it does this by means of growing produce (edible fruits, vegetables, and herbs). Also, it could be growing other useful plants to reduce useless consumption, landfill waste, and water usage.

We have been proud to help our communities GROW. TigerMountain’s mission is to improve local food access & sustainability by transforming landscapes into elegant, edible food gardens. These can also be easily managed with the help of online tools, education, and professional support.

Have TigerMountain create a beautiful edible landscape in your yard or workplace open areas. Contact us for ideas and a quote. 602-687-7725
