The Utah Department of Health recently awarded 10 minigrants - worth a total of $100,000 - to create or enhance community gardens in Salt Lake and Weber counties. Utah received the funds from the National Governors Association's Healthy States program. All funds will go directly to the programs, and Wasatch Community Gardens will provide technical assistance.
