UW Cent$ible Nutrition Program Garden

University of Wyoming Extension educators from the Big Horn County office work with local elementary students, 4-Hers, and others to grow vegetable starts and then transplant those starts into the Cent$ible Nutrition Program Garden at the UW Extension office in Basin. The garden, which is composed of several raised beds totaling more than 250 square feet, annually produces more than 500 pounds of produce, which is donated to the Basin Area Food Bank and participants of the Cent$ible Nutrition Program (CNP). The garden project is just one small part of Big Horn County CNP, which teaches individuals and families with limited resources to get the most for their food dollars and health.
