Gardeners, rejoice! It’s time to plan your spring plant haul. Join us for the 2026 Wasatch Community Gardens’ Spring Plant Sale on Saturday, May 9! The sale will take place from 8:00 am - 1:00 pm. This year, we’reexcited to be returning to the Utah State Fairpark (155 N 1000 W), expanding access to food-growing plants in a historically underserved area. This location aligns with our commitment to supporting
community-led food sovereignty and increasing access to fresh, organic, local food, particularly in neighborhoods that have faced systemic barriers to healthy food options.
