Wasatch Community Gardens (WCG) in Salt Lake City is a non-profit organization committed to empowering people of all ages and backgrounds to grow and access healthy, organic food. Founded in 1989, WCG’s mission is to cultivate community through gardening, providing education, resources, and space for individuals and families to engage in sustainable urban agriculture.
WCG operates several community garden sites across Salt Lake City, where local residents can rent plots to grow their own fruits, vegetables, and herbs. These gardens serve as hubs for community interaction, environmental stewardship, and food security. WCG also offers a variety of educational programs, including workshops, youth gardening programs, and school partnerships, to teach people about organic gardening, nutrition, and environmental responsibility.
In addition to gardening, WCG addresses issues of food equity by ensuring that fresh produce is accessible to low-income and underserved populations. Their Green Phoenix Farm and the Mobile Market initiatives provide affordable, locally-grown food to communities in need.
Through its focus on education, community building, and sustainable practices, Wasatch Community Gardens plays a vital role in promoting health, environmental awareness, and social equity in Salt Lake City, fostering a strong, interconnected community that values the importance of growing and sharing food.
