Community Gardens
A community garden is a place where people come together to garden.
Wasatch Community Gardens supports organic, sustainable community gardening through a variety of programs:
-
We manage seven community gardens throughout Salt Lake County.
-
We provide training, education and resources to 13 additional community and school gardens through the Wasatch Community Gardens Network.
-
We help connect landowners and gardeners through our online Sharing Backyards program.
-
We maintain online and printed resources, and provide limited consultation time, for groups starting community gardens in the greater Salt Lake City area.
2011 Community Garden Program Highlights:
-
Two new gardens started in partnership with Salt Lake County
-
$14,000 in mini-grant funding distributed to 9 new and expanding community gardens in the Wasatch Community Gardens Network
-
25 community garden projects received education through our first annual Growing Community Gardens leadership training.
