Getting youth groups into the garden is a great way to generate enthusiasm for caring for the environment, get involved in the community, and explore growing and eating healthy food. We encourage youth of all kinds to explore the Wasatch Community Gardens' Campus through a guided tour and hands-on activities led by our knowledgeable youth educators.
The workshops are each two hours long and include a garden tour, a healthy snack, and a seasonal, garden-based activity. Our group visits are offered April through October.
- We offer four different group visit programs, that can be tailored to your participants’ age levels and learning needs.
- Down in the Dirt - soil health, composting, garden ecology, recycling
- All About Bugs - insects, pollinators, biodiversity
- Garden Chefs - nutrition, health, local food systems
- Food Is Culture - emphasis on cultural significance of food and indigenous growing traditions
- We can also incorporate a service element into a group visit.
- GROUP SIZE AND COST
- Group visits are limited to 35 students. If your group is more than 35 students, you will need to book two visit sessions.
