Take time to smell the roses
The Rose Garden at the Southern and Dobson campus was finished in 1997 as part of a collaboration between the Mesa-East Valley Rose Society and MCC. It is the largest rose garden in the southwest with over 9,000 bushes and 40 beds. Listed in AZ Central’s “Ultimate Arizona Bucket List of 25 Things To Do in Mesa”, MCC’s Rose Garden provides a beautiful, fragrant setting for students and the public to enjoy.
