Juab County offers community garden to residents by Arianne Brown
If you’ve had dreams of growing an outdoor garden, but have no place to have a garden, there may very well be a solution for you (at least if you live in Juab County). For the past several years, Juab County has had a community garden, allowing its residents to grow fresh produce in their own outdoor space. In fact, the community garden that is run by a Utah State University extension program has been operating since 2012. And according to Agg agent Ruger Carter, the garden is something he hopes more residents will take advantage of. “The garden is a great as-

My staff and I are here to help you with any questions you might have. We also offer consultations to people who have home gardens, and who might need a little help improving it.” Having a garden, whether in the community or at home, Carter says, is more than just growing food. “Gardening is such a great experience, and I believe that the food you grow always tastes better because you put in the work,” Carter said.
