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 eight 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.
