Wasatch Community Gardens

Gardens...After Dark Did you know that taking a look at your garden after the sun has gone down can be a tool towards a productive garden? Many critters munching on your plants are most active during this time- you may be able to catch those bugs in the act!

Did you know that our community gardens have "Free Veggie Baskets" near the front gates? When our community gardeners have excess produce they place it in these baskets for anyone passing by to use!

Are you starting to get some Bee-utiful vegetables in your gardens? Have you ever considered showing them at the County Fair? The Salt Lake County Fair is in early August so now is a great time to start planning! Its free to submit an entry and you might get a ribbon or two!

A lovely Sunday to all, friends! Today, we'd like to thank Mark Miller Subaru (@mmsubaru) for donating a one-of-a-kind vehicle to point visitors to our Green Phoenix Farm for plant sale pick-ups.

It's always a treat when our KRCL friends stop by the Plant Sale! Thank you, KRCL, for your valued Plant Sale sponsorship.

Rows of boxed plant orders lined the driveway of our Green Phoenix Farm during the Plant Sale Fundraiser. We'd like to give thanks to sponsor @TrueLeafMarket for donating these boxes, along with soil mix for our seed starts. We so appreciate your support!

We have over 2,000 people that attend our Annual Plant Sale Fundraiser every year! Come join us and fill your garden with beautiful tomatoes, peppers, eggplants, herbs and more. We have more than enough for everyone.

We need YOU! A Historic Landmark Commission hearing will be held on May 7 to debate approval for features of WCG's new campus at the site of our Grateful Tomato Garden. If you'd like to voice your support, join the May 7 e-hearing (details at slc.gov/planning). Thanks!

At this year's plant sale, we’re featuring five dwarf tomato varieties: Dwarf Purple Heart (new for 2020!), Dwarf Rosella Crimson, Dwarf Beauty King, Dwarf Sweet Sue, and Dwarf Caitydid. Perfect for containers and for the space-challenged gardener! #WasatchCommunityGardens

A very happy Earth Day to our supporters, new and veteran. Thank you for believing in tomorrow with us. Please consider an Earth Day donation today! wasatchgardens.org/ways-to-give/d… #WasatchCommunityGardens #EarthDay #joinus #localfood #urbanfarming #urbangardening #slc #nonprofit

Earth Day is tomorrow, but we're thinking about it all year! We also know our work will never be done, and we can all pledge to do more. Our Youth Educator is leading our charge! She pledges to grow food and shop locally. What pledges do you have for the year ahead?

We love to hear how our community members work garden fun into their lives! Here, Eli (10) and Wyatt (7) Brink sort worms from the vermicomposter (i.e., worm composting bin) they built in a Wasatch Community Gardens workshop. Nice work, Eli and Wyatt!

The Hamson DX 52-12 may sound like an automotive part, but it’s a wonderfully reliable and tasty tomato variety bred by Dr. Hamson right here in Utah to keep on producing right through our hot summers. It's the perfect variety to rely on for a steady supply of juicy tomatoes!

Dear Community – to safeguard our staff and gardeners’ health, as well as the health of our community, please note that our Grateful Tomato Garden is closed to the public for the time being. (Photo taken from a prior summer.)

We hope you're making the most of this lovely spring holiday no matter how you're choosing to spend it! We especially hope you've had some garden helpers this weekend to make you smile. Here, Shadow "helps" our Seeds of Success Director prep her own garden.

Community Plant Sale spotlight! We’ll be bringing you 14 premium varieties of tomatoes that have stunning looks and great taste. Mushroom Basket is our only new premium variety for 2020, and it’s premium in every way! #WasatchCommunityGardens #WCGPlantSale #tomatoes
