Growing Community
We believe one of Moab’s greatest assets is a strong, healthy, and connected community. We host a variety of events for all ages to nurture and strengthen our community, while also providing opportunities for individuals in Moab to learn and gain new skills.
Learn more about our offerings below. We look forward to you joining us and becoming connected to the Youth Garden Project through one or more of these programs!

Beginning late winter, our farm team grows a wide (wide!) variety of plant starts to be sold to the Moab community in the spring. Find native plants for your yard, the best tomatoes to grow in the desert, and so much more at our Annual Plant Sale. Learn More!
Weed N Feeds
Every other Wednesday from April through October (except July), we invite volunteers to help us with weeding in the garden for ~one hour, in exchange for a free, shared, garden-fresh meal prepared by volunteer chefs. Learn more!
Garden Dinners
Our seed-to-table garden dinners celebrate fresh ingredients, local food, and our Moab community. Support our mission, eat a delicious multi-course meal prepared by a guest chef, explore the site, and meet the team all in one event! Learn more!
Seed Swap
Every February or early March, we host a Seed Swap to kick off the growing season. The event includes free soup and potluck style treats, and is a chance for gardeners to gather, connect, share knowledge and resources, and build a vibrant local food community.
Workshops
Each season, we host a variety of food and gardening workshops or lessons for the community, most led by guest instructors. These workshops are either free or by donation. Past topics have included compost, honey bees, essential herbs, and more. Learn more!
