Wasatch Community Gardens is once again teaming up with musician and environmentalist Jack Johnson on his 2022 Summer Tour as an All At Once Non-Profit Partner. If you are at his concert at the USANA Amphitheatre on Friday, September 2, please come and say hello! Wasatch Community Gardens will be represented, along with other local partner nonprofits, on the "Village Green". 

All At Once is Jack Johnson’s social action network connecting nonprofits with people who want to take action and give back to their community. All At Once promotes sustainable and equitable food systems, plastic free initiatives, healthy watersheds and more: "Collectively, individual actions create global change. Your actions, your voice, and your choices, all have a huge impact."

"Four prominent Black women separated by time will be brought together in a neighborhood where each once lived and worked.

A new mural featuring Jane Manning James, Elizabeth Taylor, Elnora Dudley and Mignon Barker Richmond was unveiled at Richmond Park, 444 E. 600 South in Salt Lake City, on Monday. The mural will be installed in the community garden at the park once completed. The unveiling of the mural was among one of the final events in Utah's Juneteenth celebrations.

The mural — which features the namesake of Richmond Park — represents a recognition of Black women's contributions to Utah."

In the first of a seasonal series of fruit and vegetable tastings, we are planning a delicious fundraising dinner on Wednesday, October 5. A limited number of guests will enjoy a dinner of small plates prepared by Executive Chef Ryan Nelson from LUX Catering & Events, each dish showcasing a different garlic variety and other seasonal ingredients, many grown by Wasatch Community Gardens. Wines will be chosen to compliment the flavors.  

Chef Ryan and our Community Education Director, Marybeth Janerich, will share information about the history, cultivation and taste profile of garlic varieties and recipes between each dish. Wasatch Community Gardens' Executive Director will speak about the organization's mission, vision and programs, and the impact this work has in our community.
