Youth Garden Project
The Youth Garden Project (YGP) is a non-profit organization in Moab, Utah with a mission of cultivating healthy children, families and community through educational programs and the profound act of connecting people with food from seed to table. Our 1 ½ acres of land includes about 64 garden beds, a CSA plot, an orchard, a greenhouse and grow dome, chickens and rabbits, a commercial community kitchen, indoor classroom space and several unique outdoor classroom areas.
YGP offers both school-based and out-of-school programs for youth using the garden as a teaching tool and incorporates interdisciplinary lessons into programs for all ages. Produce is grown using organic methods and then sold at the Moab Farmers’ Market, to local restaurants, to the natural food store and used in our programs. Learning opportunities are available to everyone including youth of all ages, interns, volunteers and adult community members.

- After School Program
