People who have lived here include Hohokam, Tohono O’odham, Spanish colonials and other Europeans, Mexicans, Chinese, and people of African descent. As a result, Mission Garden grows crops that originated in many areas of the world. Some of these crops are listed in the Ark of Taste's catalog of heritage foods. White Sonora wheat and O'odham pink bean exemplify local foods in this catalog. Staff and volunteers tend constantly changing garden plots that show cultivars and farming methods that have succeeded in the Sonoran Desert.
