Casto Home Gardens - Our First Community Garden

"We sustain our organization by the donated services and goods offered by the community. We have many civic services that we provide to our communities including; fruit picking, gardeners' markets, and free classes/workshops. We seek to work closely with ALL cities and organizations to create similar groups within their communities. We love giving ideas and support to such groups, wherever they may be."

Casto Home Community Garden

Where it all began ...

We started off in 2006 at this location with the name "Holladay Community Garden" because this, and all three gardens that followed, were located in the City of Holladay (Casto Home Gardens, Patch Garden Project, Farmers Market Garden). Since we started in 2006, all of garden locations in Holladay have been developed. We are always looking for a new Holladay spot, in case you may have a place.

Our Mission
  • Provide/maintain regenerative-organic community gardens.
  • Actively preserve green spaces and open spaces.
  • Create a stronger community by providing healthy pantry food, at our Community Pantries, for no cost to those in need of nutritional assistance.
  • Educate the public by raising awareness about; the environment, environmental regeneration, xeriscaping, organic gardening & land cultivation by encouraging community involvement.
  • Raise funds for regenerative-organic community gardens and community garden events.
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

We want to help you start a community garden in your neighborhood! We also want to help you manage an existing community garden, and move beyond sustainability into regeneration. 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 Earth's systems. We try to teach basic foundations and sound gardening principles, because one never knows who will be the next to revolutionize Earth's "community garden."
ALL CLASSES WE HOLD ARE FREE!
