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.

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!

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!

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?

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!

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!
