Wasatch Community Gardens' Education Program empowers adult community members with the skills, knowledge, and confidence to successfully grow and eat delicious organic food through hands-on workshops, virtual learning opportunities, community science activities and educational garden tours. Our Campus near downtown Salt Lake City highlights nearly 15,000 square feet of annual veggies, fruit trees, berries, edible perennials, and insectaries. Please join our expert instructors for trainings in all aspects of growing your own food, and check out our online resources like "How-To" organic gardening videos!
The Education Program is guided by Wasatch Community Gardens' social justice mission to increase access to healthy, organic, local food for everyone. We seek not only to be better stewards of the land, but also to be better allies with historically marginalized communities, and we invite you to read our Anti-Racism Statement and Land Acknowledgement Statement.
In our effort to serve diverse audiences, the Education Program:
- Provides many free educational offerings each year, such as our Wednesday Walk-Throughs
- Provides steep discounts to our fee-based workshops and WCG Campus Tours for those in financial need
- Prioritizes our educational support for organizations that serve historically marginalized communities
