Families are a crucial element of the school garden ecosystem, and are often overlooked when planning garden programming. Join two of the Wasatch Community Gardens Youth and School Program team to learn about successes and challenges of engaging families in school garden spaces at two sites in Salt Lake City, Utah. Discuss culturally competent “best practices” for working with families and learn ideas for starting bilingual family engagement programs at your own sites.

Presenters will include:

– Kimberly Yapias, School and Family Garden Manager at Wasatch Community Gardens in Salt Lake City, UT

– Emily Büchi, Youth and School Program Director at Wasatch Community Gardens in Salt Lake City, UT
