Evanston Youth Club Greenhouse

Uinta County

The Evanston Youth Club (EYC) received a $1,000 mini-grant from Sheridan-based Rooted in Wyoming (RiW) in 2023 to help outfit the program’s new greenhouse. The greenhouse is allowing area youths to work side-be-side with EYC staff members and volunteers to learn various aspects of growing vegetables, fruits, herbs, and pollinator plants. The gardening program is one of many activities that club members can participate in. The activities collectively help the EYC positively guide their members to make choices that will lead them to be caring and responsible citizens.

The Evanston project is the most geographically distant partner to date for RiW. The gardening program is allowing club members to learn how to grow their own healthy produce.
