Wasatch Community Gardens’ field trips are designed to meet the standards and objectives of the Utah State Core Curriculum for grades K-6, focusing on science and nutrition through a hands-on experience in our Campus gardens in Central City. Each field trip includes a garden tour, healthy snack (due to COVID-19, this is subject to change), and seasonal grade level-specific activity led by our experienced youth educators.
