Junior Farmers
The newest way for youth groups to join us in the garden!
Junior Farmers is a program designed to give youth groups (Ages 4-17) the opportunity to participate and experience first hand the work we do at our productive urban garden in downtown Salt Lake City.
This 1-2 hour program includes:
- A tour of the Grateful Tomato Garden, including our straw bale greenhouse, hoop house, artesian well, and compost system;
- The opportunity to learn and participate in seasonal garden activities, which may include planting, harvesting, weeding, watering, and composting;
- A gathering space for participant led activities such as group discussion, refreshments, or in the case of birthday gatherings, cake and gifts.
