TUCSON, Ariz. (KGUN) — The Flowers and Bullets Collective is continuing to foster connections with the community by hosting events at the Midtown Farm.
The group took over the former Julia Keen Elementary School and has used the space for gardening, herding goats, and water harvesting. They have also hosted an annual Firefighter Wetdown for the past four years.
