“Wasatch Community Gardens is the model for partnerships in our community. Their programs bring together citizens throughout the valley to grow and eat healthy food together. What better way to build bridges and find common ground than through sharing the experience of growing food together and sharing the bounty. I want to keep my legacy local and am confident that Wasatch Community Gardens is the best investment I can make for the future.”
