Did you know that sage isn’t just for cooking—it’s been used for centuries as a natural remedy and was once considered a symbol of wisdom and healing? 🌿 Its soft, silvery leaves are drought-tolerant, pollinator-friendly, and packed with flavor—making it a powerhouse plant in both the garden and the kitchen.

At our Acre 51 Garden, sage is just one of the many herbs, fruits, and vegetables growing right here in the Creighton community. While you’re there, you might also meet our chickens, quail, and bunnies who help bring the space to life 🐓🐇

Come visit, get your hands in the soil, and see what’s growing—we’d love to have you join us!

Thank you to the SRP PERA Team for spending the day with us at the garden!

In just a few hours, the team painted our new chicken and quail coops, planted a grape vine, and helped expand our chicken tractor to create a safe transition space for new chickens. These improvements strengthen our ability to grow food sustainably and support families across our community.

We’re grateful not just for the work accomplished, but for the conversations and shared commitment to sustainability and climate impact along the way.

Thank you, Salt River Project PERA Team, for showing up and making a difference.

Proposed SNAP cuts could leave more Arizona families and children facing hunger at a time when food costs are already high.

At Creighton Community Foundation, we’re working every day to fill that gap—through weekly food distributions, FrescaZona, and SNAP support—but the need is growing.
