I can't take credit for the Rose Park Community Garden. Several people, mainly Scott Steenblik (801-359-0354) and Ralph Steenblik (801-363-8048), have been the backbone and muscle from the ground up.
The Garden's primary purpose is to teach self-reliance. In time individual plots may be assigned out to families.
My children and I have worked several times at the garden: moving compost, planting seeds, weeding, and best of all, picking vegetables. We've learned about gopher solutions, saving seeds, and how to peel a kohlrabi, just to name a couple things.
If you can supplement your diet with local, fresh produce, great. If it's free, even better! With so many threats to the mega-agricultural food-chain, why not learn how to feed yourself and your family without the middle man? I have a lot to learn as I'm sure most of us do.
So why not take advantage of the Little Red Hen Garden of Rose Park?
