Small Garden
Prioritize a few crops, easy access, and dependable irrigation. Use supports and succession only where tending remains simple.

Arizona Victory Garden Plans
A garden plan is a working decision about space, water, labor, and timing.
Plan before planting; account for mature plant size, group crops intentionally, reserve paths, use succession, and add vertical support where it earns its space.
From the 1943 guide
The booklet included small, medium, and large garden plans. Its diagrams can be useful historical examples when locally available, but their crop layouts are not represented here as optimized for modern Arizona.
Arizona Today
Use a plan as a living record: leave room for crop succession, update it as mature plant size becomes clear, and match each expansion to real water and labor capacity.
Medium Garden
Divide the space into manageable areas, group crops by care needs, and leave room for pathways and seasonal turnover.
Large Garden
Match additional area to a real labor and water plan; larger space also needs stronger records and maintenance routines.
Modular Raised/Gabion Garden
Use repeatable modules when native soil is unsuitable or when defined growing zones, drainage, and access are priorities.
