Worland Community Garden

The Worland Community Garden strives to promote healthy, self-reliant communities by providing fresh produce for the community, teaching children and adults to garden, and providing volunteer opportunities for all ages.

The garden consists of mostly in-ground plots along with several raised beds, a geodesic dome, and containers. All of the produce grown is donated into the community through local food pantries and social service agencies. WCG also has a strong educational component for youths and adults—it’s used as a venue for a variety of workshops and gatherings related to gardening, agriculture, science, and art, and it offers many opportunities for community service. WCG does not rent plots to the public.

The WCG, which became a nonprofit organization in 2023, collaborates closely with the University of Wyoming Extension’s Washakie County office and the Washakie County Conservation District.

Garden
Fresh produce and flowers, including pollinators, are grown in a geodesic dome, raised beds, ground plots, and containers at the Worland Community Garden. There is a shade-covered sitting area, along with artwork and surrounding open spaces, which combine to make a wonderful setting for gardening and fellowship.
