Why "Earth Community Garden"?

What's in a name?

We started off as the "Holladay Community Garden" because all three gardens were located in the City of Holladay (Casto Home Gardens, Patch Garden Project, Farmers Market Garden). When we "branched" out of Holladay, the original name did not seem as inclusive. So we thought about calling us "Utah Community Gardens" but we figured why stop there? "Earth" seemed to encompass it all! But now with water possibly being discovered on Mars, who knows . . . So now we are Earth Community GARDEN, not GardenS, because we all live in one big garden. The word "gardens" seems to divide rather than unite. Each of us live on this big garden called Earth and we must all do our part to make sure our portion of the garden is cared for and tended. Whether it is; your own yard, the area outside your apartment, your business or the future site of one of these, we should all feel the need to beautify our surroundings in a responsible and sustainable way.

Our Organization

Earth Community Garden is a 501c3 nonprofit organization formerly known as Holladay Community Garden. Both Earth Community Garden and Holladay Community Garden act as an umbrella organization for various community gardens all over. We manage, sponsor and invest in gardens than look to bring about community building, peace and justice through sound methods of tending to gardens. Each garden that we develop, promote or fund is unique in regards to how the garden operates with the populations they serve. For specific information on a particular garden, feel free to contact us. HAPPY GARDENING!

Teaching Others

Part of Our Mission is to "educate the public." This includes the active teaching of those who have the ability to make positive changes in environmental practices. We strive to empower minds to continually seek out innovative methods that improve the whole earth. We try to teach sound gardening principles because one never knows who will be that one to revolutionize earth's "community garden."
ALL CLASSES WE HOLD ARE FREE!
