Empowering people to grow and eat healthy, organic, local food.
Our Mission & Vision
The mission of Wasatch Community Gardens is to empower people to grow and eat healthy, organic, local food. Since 1989, we have provided children, adults, and families in Salt Lake County with access to land and education for growing and eating fresh produce, while building and nurturing community connections through gardening and healthy food. We accomplish this through six main programs: Advocacy and Justice, Community Gardens, Education, Job Training, Youth and School, and Volunteer Programs.
We envision a community where everyone values and has access to growing and eating healthy and delicious food.
