Each class is offered on Thursday evening and repeated the following Saturday morning: May 14 / 16, June 18 / 20, July 16 / 18, August 20 /

Today is #UtahGives....and Cache Valley gives even better! Several of our supporters are growing seedlings at home to give away to our gardeners. Truly,"remote work" at its finest. Some growers are using newspaper pots made by volunteers, which we wrote about earlier: A tray of zucchini at Julie's house Butternut squash at Karin's house. One grower has to resort to ingenious methods to keep their cats out of the seedlings: A folding table serves as support for the growlights

We are deeply grateful to everyone who came for our EARTH Day Work Day. We had close to 70 volunteers today, including folks who came as part of an organization: Cache Community Connections , the Cache Valley Interfaith Choir , the Cache Valley Unitarian Universalists , the Cache Valley chapter of JustServe , and Prince of Peace Lutheran Church . Some pictures to give you an impression: Lots of energy .... partly due to the snacks provided by Cache Community Connections (tha

Our greenhouse team -- all volunteers -- has been tending seeds and seedlings since early March. Looks at these splendid little zucchini plants! Our hope is to have multiple plants for each gardener on kick-off day on May 9. Let us know if you would like to get in on the fun and start some seeds for our gardeners in your own indoor space. We can get you set up with seeds, potting soil, and starter trays. We are grateful for a Healthy Communities grant from the Bear River Heal

We are excited to invite everyone -- anyone in the community -- to our first workshop of the year. Listening to feedback from last year's gardeners, we are now offering workshops twice: once on a Thursday evening, and once on Saturday morning. They are the same workshop, so you can register for just one. Our workshops are FREE! You can register for Thursday's workshop at this link , or for Saturday's workshop at this link .

Some of our gardeners have started planting cool-season vegetables. While the beds look mostly bare, important work is happening in the soil. Meanwhile, our peach trees are really showing off. The other fruit trees won't be far behind.

For all you folks who love (learning about) plants ... Did you know that the Logan area has three rare species of Utah native plants? Maguire's primrose, Cronquist's daisy, and Frank Smith violet. Have you spotted any of these in the wild? We enjoy promoting this event that our friends at Stokes Nature Center and the Intermountain Herbarium are co-organizing: Because this event is held at Home Range Brewing, attendees must be 21 or older. The event is free but tickets are li

Many thanks to the volunteers who promoted Hope Community Garden at the Seed Swap & Plant Exchange held at the Logan Library this afternoon. It's always great to connect with fellow plant lovers. Some visitors learned about Hope Community Garden for the first time, and our volunteers were ready to answer all questions. Good work; thank you!

The more you look, the more you'll find fellow plant lovers in our community. And a variety of opportunities to connect with and learn from them. Here's one coming up next week:

This Saturday at the Logan Library:

Come garden with us this year. Grow some plants, meet new people. The registration link is now live. Plots are available on a first-come, first-served basis.

But don't be fooled ... good things are happening beneath the surface! A few continuing gardeners have planted garlic, others have mixed leaves into the soil to boost its quality. We are also making plans to grow vegetable plants from seeds in our greenhouse in spring. Check back here for an announcement in early March about registration for the 2026 season.

Are you kind of sad that gardening season is over? Do you often dream of getting your hands in the dirt? Would you like another chance to get your shoes muddy? You can volunteer to help restore native habitat at Wuda Ogwa, an important site of the Northwestern Band of the Shoshone and located near Preston in southern Idaho (about an hour's drive from Logan). No prior tree-planting experience necessary; you will learn on-site. The weather forecast for next weekend looks great

As we have said many times: Our volunteers are the best! Lots of people came out to help. Together, we spread three (!!!) dump truck loads of topsoil over 50 garden plots. Special thanks to NElda and the USU students from the Center for Community Engagement . Shovels at the ready We started with a huge mound of topsoil Volunteers of all ages joined in Many hands made... no, not "light work", exactly. But they did make a heavy chore go more quickly. We are so very grateful to

Our volunteers are the best! From the folks who ordered the supplies, to the ones who cut the wood to the right lengths, to the many who showed up last Saturday to make the boxes and affix them to the existing beds -- WOW, just WOW! Rock stars , all of them. Now all 50 beds are twice as deep as they were before. We will fill them with topsoil tomorrow, and then next year's plants will have an easier time growing strong roots. Boxes put together Carrying the boxes to the beds
