WyoGives is here! We’re participating for the sixth year in a row – this time to raise money to build the Education, Agriculture, and Trial Garden, a hub for backyard gardening exploration, learning, and innovation.

The Education, Agriculture, and Trial Garden will be a place of learning, experimentation, and GROWING! The EAT Garden is a community concept that will act as a demonstration and teaching garden for visitors interested in backyard gardening for crops, as well as ornamentals. It will act as a trial garden so that Southeast Wyoming can be at the cutting edge of testing and cultivating ornamental and crop varieties specifically suited for our unique climate and weather. And it will act as a community hub for gathering, sharing, and growing what nourishes us most – friendship and food! We envision growing crops, not just for demonstration, education, and trial, but to help address food insecurity in our community. All crops grown will be donated to organizations working to end food insecurity in Laramie County and Wyoming. Help us build this resource to benefit everyone!
