Plan your own Eco-Garden
TreeUtah's Eco-Garden was created in 2006 in partnership with the Salt Lake City Parks Department and the Day-Riverside Library. The Eco-Garden was developed to facilitate education and skillbuilding within the community around the topic of urban sustainability. Community Members come together in creativity and productivity while learning ecological design concepts, water harvesting and organic gardening techniques as well as natural building skills.
Programming TreeUtah's commitment to community education is very much a part of the Eco-Garden. Classes for children and adults take place on and off site. We offer classes on water harvesting, food preservation, natural building and permaculture design principles to name a few, and we are continually adding new education topics.
Volunteer Community members are welcome and encouraged to participate in the shaping of the Eco-garden - both in concept and on the ground. Without the supoport of volunteers from the community, this project would not be possible.
Harvest Anyone who participates in an Eco-Garden workshop or workday is welcome to join in the harvest with us each summer and fall. Any extra fruits or vegetables will be delivered to local food banks to provide fresh produce to the people most in need.
