Community Calendar

Ales with the Arb

Every third Wednesday · 6 PM · Mother Road Brewery

Science goes down easier with a cold pint in hand.

Join The Arboretum at Flagstaff at Mother Road Brewery for our monthly evening series where local experts, scientists, and naturalists pull up a barstool and share what they know. Each month brings a new theme — from pollinators to paleobotany, water science to wildlife — all in the laid-back setting of one of Flagstaff's favorite neighborhood breweries.

No lecture hall. Just good conversation, great beer, and the kind of curiosity that keeps a community connected to the natural world around it.

Free to attend. Just bring yourself — and maybe a friend who thinks they don't like science yet.

Join the Fix-It Clinic on Saturday, August 22nd, from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. at the Joe C. Montoya Community and Senior Center near Thorpe Park (245 N. Thorpe Rd.) to get your household item repaired and returned to life and kept of the landfill!

Our amazing volunteers can assist with repairs on almost anything, including electronics, jewelry, clothing, bicycles, and more, all for free! While appointments are recommended, they are not required.

Calendula Salve Workshop with Gina Goegan
August 22 · 10:00 AM – 12:00 PM · Meet at the Visitor Center

Long before the pharmacy, there was the garden.

Join Arboretum Greenhouse Manager Gina Goegan for a hands-on two-hour workshop exploring one of the plant world’s most beloved healers — the calendula. Bright, resilient, and deeply rooted in herbal tradition, calendulas have been used for centuries to soothe, restore, and protect. In this intimate workshop, Gina will guide you through the process of crafting your own traditional healing salve using calendulas grown right here at The Arb.

You’ll leave with a jar of salve you made yourself — and a new appreciation for what a garden can offer beyond its beauty.

Space is extremely limited — only 15 spots available.

None of us know how long we have to live. However, we have the opportunity every day to make the most of our lives. Participants lead the discussion to reflect on how death and dying affects us all.

Join our weekly writing group to practice your writing habit!

With the use of prompts, time allotments, and group sharing, Wily Writers will learn more about their writing and support others along the way.

Constructive and positive feedback is welcome and encouraged! Our ultimate goal is to make writing more accessible and approachable for everyone at any level. You bring your writing tools and we'll bring the fun!

To request a reasonable accommodation for any type of disability, please call 928-213-2330. Three days prior notice is requested.
