Getting to the Campus Gardens

Wasatch Community Gardens often has limited street parking during our events so we encourage carpooling, bicycling, or taking public transit. For guests who do drive to campus, if you are able to, we ask that you consider parking further away to leave parking spaces closer to the entrance for fellow guests who might need them. 

Parking

Please help us be good neighbors, and as much as possible, use on-street parking on the north side of 800 South or the east side of 600 East.

The nearest curb cuts are on the corner of Green St./800 South, and 600 East/800 South.

The Youth & School Gardens Program is thrilled to host summer camps in 2025! During the months of June, July and August, campers will explore the Wasatch Community Gardens' Campus gardens, prepare and eat healthy foods, and make endless connections between themselves, their communities and the natural world. Most camps are hosted in partnership with other Salt Lake City day camps, so participants get to spend their week experiencing the best of two worlds. WCG is also offering a week-long full day Farm to Table camp at our Campus Gardens, and two west-side community-based holiday-week camps to focus on accessibility of our programs.

Curious to hear what past campers had to say? "I like that when I come here I'm in nature." "I can't believe I've tried so many new things! I can't wait to try more!"

Camp registration will open on a rolling basis. Visit our list of 2025 summer camps below to view opening dates by camp.

You can learn more about our awesome camp partners on their sites: Spy Hop, Natural History Museum of Utah, and Clark Planetarium. 

There are a limited number of needs-based scholarships available for each camp. Please This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. to request scholarship information for individual camps.

2025 Schedule

Wasatch Community Gardens' Youth Garden Club is an enrichment program that offers weekly after-school and summer classes that take place at our Grateful Tomato Garden (629 E 800 S) and the Sorenson Unity Garden (1383 S 900 W). Available to qualifying partnering social service agencies that work with youth ages 4-12, these classes aim to empower youth to make healthy choices for themselves, their communities, and the environment. Through hands-on experience in growing and preparing healthy, local, organic food, youth experience the connection between the environment, food systems, and their own health. We send fresh produce from the garden home with participants to share with their families, as well as with our partner agencies to take to their centers to share with other children in their programs.

As part of our work supporting school gardens in the Salt Lake City School District, Wasatch Community Gardens partners with several Title 1 elementary schools (schools that serve predominantly low-income students) to host our Family Garden Gatherings program. Family Garden Gatherings are gatherings of parents, teachers, and administrators who meet regularly throughout the growing season to help maintain their school gardens, learn about gardening, and share recipes using the produce they grow. At the end of the season, we compile the recipes families have shared into books to distribute to participating families and schools. We host the garden gathering sessions in both Spanish and English and print the recipes in both languages. The garden gathering meetings are a place for parents and families to engage with their child's school and a great opportunity for the school community to connect over shared food and garden work.

Katie (she/her) grew up gardening in a small agricultural town in western Colorado. She has gardened professionally along the Wasatch Front for the past seven years, working as an assistant horticulturist at Red Butte Garden, a lead gardener for The Green Urban Lunch Box's Back-Farms Program, and as a residential landscaper throughout Salt Lake City. As a Community Educator at WCG, Katie shares her curiosity for and knowledge of plants and built ecosystems with local residents of varied backgrounds and experience. She's especially interested in perennial food systems, water harvesting and conservation, and regenerative garden design. Her time away from WCG's Teaching Gardens and Education Cottage is spent experimenting in her own home garden and greenhouse, watering house plants, and snuggling with her pit bull, Panda.

Laura has been chasing wild bees for 20 years. With so many reasonable people running away from bees and screaming, she started the Wild Bee Project in 2015 to teach that wild bees don't sting. "Gardening for bees" became her go-to workshop as she discovered all the wonderful garden people in Salt Lake who are curious about wild bees and seeing more bees in their gardens. The Wild Bee Project now focuses on habitat, helping urban vegetable growers set aside and landscape parts of the farm to retain wild pollinators and other beneficial insects, with funding from USDA.

Celia Bell has been an organic gardener in the Salt Lake Valley since the late 1990s and has a degree from Weber State in zoology with minors in botany and chemistry and additional horticulture training from Utah State. If that’s not enough to knock your socks off, she also farms an amazing homestead with cover crops, high tunnel hoop houses, chickens, and the most abundant winter squash, tomato, onion and garlic harvests around! She also cans, dehydrates, pickles, and ferments the fabulous produce she grows, all in her wonderfully-rich, perfectly loamy soil that she’s been developing over the past 20 years. Celia is the person to teach you about understanding and improving the soil in your garden!!

Liz Hamilton has been a plant nut her whole life. Growing up in the D.C. metro area, she spent her childhood visiting the historic gardens and parks of the East Coast. While in college, she spent her summers on Capitol Hill working at the United States Botanical Gardens, and the US National Arboretum as a horticultural assistant. She has a BS & MS in Parks Management, and after moving to the Salt Lake Valley in 2007, completed an additional BS in Horticulture from Utah State University. The last four years Liz has worked as a Horticulturist for Salt Lake County stationed out of Wheeler Historic Farm managing the grounds care of several different park locations totaling around 100 acres. From fruit tree pruning and vegetable gardening to native habitat restoration and design, she has worn a lot of different hats in the field but is most passionate about edible landscaping and unusual species. In 2018 she started a small horticulture consulting business that lets her spend more time with her two little girls at home while still being firmly rooted in the SLV gardening community.

“Wasatch Community Gardens is the model for partnerships in our community. Their programs bring together citizens throughout the valley to grow and eat healthy food together. What better way to build bridges and find common ground than through sharing the experience of growing food together and sharing the bounty. I want to keep my legacy local and am confident that Wasatch Community Gardens is the best investment I can make for the future.”
