Garden Pool began in 2009 as one family’s backyard project and quickly evolved into a movement. Ten years later, Garden Pool is an internationally-recognized charitable organization and has over 1,700 local community volunteers in the Phoenix area. After partnering with the Inter-American Institute for Cooperation on Agriculture (IICA), Garden Pool Founder Dennis McClung was given the title of Goodwill Ambassador for Sustainable Development in recognition of GP’s impact on the lives of people all over the world.
