Longino said working in a community garden and planting a seed can build a better understanding of community.
“Thinking of the land as part of community,” Longino said. “When you put a seed in the ground, that seed is then going to interact with all the soil microbes and all the nutrients that become available and the air and the water. And then it grows up in this community of plants around it.

Each plot at the library is 4 feet by 8 feet, which makes the plots tall enough for a person in a wheelchair to access and work in them.
Salt Lake City is also doing what it can to support people who don’t need a community plot, but are still looking at the expenses to start their own garden. Sustainability Deputy Director Sophia Nicholas said the Community Food Microgrant Program’s $250 microgrants can be used for any purpose going towards growing food.
