Our Mission

The Youth Garden Project cultivates healthy children, families, and community through educational programs and connecting people with food from seed to table.

The food we grow informs and inspires our educational practice, and also nourishes our community! Find out where the food from our 1.5 acre garden ends up.

We use the garden as a cross-discipline learning tool that connects kids to the environment and our local food system! Learn more about our youth programming.

Gardening not only builds soil, it also builds community! A garden nurtures many forms of connection. Learn how you can be a part of our community at the youth garden.

Upcoming Events and Opportunities

Community Compost Workshop

Composting not only reduces landfill waste, but also recycles organic resources full of nutrients right back into the soil!

If you’re interested in composting in Moab, join us Saturday, March 30th from 9:30am-11:30am for a FREE Community Compost Workshop led by local gardener and compost enthusiast Diane Ackerman! We learned so much from Diane last spring, and are so excited to host this event again.

Together, we’ll build a compost pile that you can replicate at home, tour the YGP compost system, and answer all your questions about this fun and sustainable practice! We hope to see you there!
