Throughout the year, we offer educational workshops through our Learn to Grow Program on a variety of topics - from beekeeping and urban chicken care to organic gardening and cooking! Whether you are a beginning gardener just getting started, a seasoned grower looking to learn some new organic techniques, or practically a professional looking for something new to grow, Wasatch Community Gardens has a class for you.

In 2013, Wasatch Community Gardens will be offering over 60 classes focused on organic gardening and sustainable living. We try to offer educational opportunities for gardeners of all levels.
