Photo Gallery of Wasatch Community Gardens' Youth School Field Trip Program... 

Wasatch Community Gardens' Growing Greens Field Trip program has been in full swing this fall.  These field trips are a great way for youth to experience a connection between the environment, community, and the food system as they take part in learning gardening skills and eating fresh produce that nourishes their bodies.

Through our Growing Greens Field Trip Program, youth learn plant science, nutrition, and gardening by touring the garden grounds, tasting fresh produce, and participating in
plant-based activities.
