What Does Your Gift Support?
Your donation to Wasatch Community Gardens is an investment in the health and wellbeing of your loved ones, yourself, and the friends you have yet to meet through a shared love of nutritious, local food. Together we’re increasing access to growing and eating organic produce, providing hands-on opportunities for people of all ages and abilities to learn and connect through six impactful programs: Advocacy and Justice, Community Gardens, Education, Job Training, Youth and School, and Volunteers.
As we celebrate our 35th Anniversary and move into year three of our Five-Year Growth Plan, we express our gratitude for everyone who planted the seeds and deepened the roots of WCG. And we renew our commitment to meeting the evolving needs of our community through equitable, intentional, and sustainable action. You help WCG grow to new heights by increasing your donation or giving in a new way, such as making a monthly Perennial donation. Click Donate Today to make your commitment to a stronger, healthier, more connected community in 2025 and for the next 35 years.

Wasatch Community Gardens' Spring Plant Sale is one of our longest standing signature events that brings our community together for access to locally grown plants and to support our mission to empower people to grow and eat healthy, organic, local food. The 2025 Spring Plant Sale is on Saturday, May 10, and we offer early access to shopping the sale the night before. Our most enthusiastic shoppers at WCG's Spring Plant Sale - those who spent $150 or more at the previous year's Spring Plant Sale - and donors who make a one-time gift of $150 or more or a "perennial" monthly gift of $10 or more, are our Pals of the Plant Sale, or PoPS! If you do not already fall into this category we invite you to join PoPS by making a donation today.
In addition to an opportunity to shop before the general public at PoPS' Night, Friday, May 9, stay tuned for special PoPS perks as a token of appreciation for your support. This will include a special event invitation and we look forward to helping you make the most of the plant sale as you prepare to grow and eat your own healthy, organic, local food! Whether you are already a member of PoPS or make a gift today, stay tuned for your invitation and more details about PoPS perks soon!
