Japanese American Flower Gardens along Baseline Road in Phoenix
15For almost three decades beginning in the 1950’s, Japanese American family-owned flower farms stretched along a 16-block stretch of Baseline Road from 48th to 32nd street. Phoenix residents and tourists liked to drive past the fields, smell the flowers, and purchase beautiful bouquets. At their height the farms collectively shipped hundreds of boxes of flowers a day across the nation. Now, the original flower fields are replaced with suburban housing; in 2006 the last of the flower fields were sold. Though the flower fields are gone, they still exist in photos and the memories of Phoenix residents. Photos courtesy Brad Hall and the AZ Historical Society. #flowerfarms
