City Roots

Throughout the year, City Roots classes empower students with crucial food growing skills, provide access to healthy, local food, and offer unique outdoor experiences to youth ages 4-18.  Students experience the connection between the environment, community, and the food system, as well as discover the benefits of healthy eating.

In weekly, 1-hour garden classes held at the Fairpark Garden and the Tomato Garden, youth participate in harvesting, preparing and eating the crops they have grown from seed.  They are then able to take food home for their families, and share the rest with the community by donating it to local food pantries. 

Wasatch Community Gardens relies on partners for transporting students to and from agency, supervision of participants, and annual demographic reporting.  This program is free of charge for qualifying agencies.
