SALT LAKE CITY — The Salt Lake City Division of Sustainability, in partnership with Wasatch Community Gardens, will host community garden open houses in October.
The events are on Thursday, Oct. 2, from 5-7:30 p.m. and Saturday, Oct. 18 from 10 a.m.-noon on the first floor of the Salt Lake City-County Building, 451 S. State.
The public is invited to learn about city-owned and operated land available for the development of community gardens. Information about the Green City Growers application process and available resources will also be provided.
Six designated parcels have been identified for community garden access. Residents can review the available parcels on SLCgreen.com and, if interested, apply for the organization and creation of a community garden.
Applications are due to the city by Dec. 1.
Salt Lake City works directly with Wasatch Community Gardens and community members to develop gardens within city limits through the SLCgreen City Growers Program. Wasatch Community Gardens is a community-based nonprofit that has served the Salt Lake County community for more than 25 years.
