NETWORKING EVENT

Chapter Summer Networking Event

Join us for a morning of networking and service at Cannon Greens Community Garden to learn more about Wasatch Community Garden's community outreach—their Green Team Farm Project is a farm-based job training program that provides opportunities for women who are facing homelessness to learn basic organic gardening techniques, intensive vegetable production strategies, small farm management expertise, and other job skills. 

Afterward, we'll spend some time working together in the garden. Depending on their needs that day, we may be weeding, double digging, mulching, creating garden art, painting, planting, harvesting, or cleaning out plot spaces.

A light continental breakfast will be served.

The mission of Wasatch Community Gardens (WCG) is to empower people of all ages and incomes to grow and eat healthy, organic, local food.

WCG has served Wasatch Front residents since 1989 with the belief that the quality of a community is directly related to the quality of its food. WCG offers a spectrum of dynamic programs for youth and adults aimed at improving access to healthy, organic, and local food.

WCG not only provides garden space where people can grow their own food, but WCG also provides afterschool youth gardening activities, summer camps, field trips, educational workshops, and community events to empower individuals and families to successfully grow, harvest, preserve, and prepare seasonal foods. As interest in urban agriculture continues to grow, WCG works with local communities to meet the demand for additional land and educational resources to further remove barriers to fresh produce and quality food.

Nominate a colleague for the Thought Leader Award by September 1st.  The award will be presented at the conference.
