Cecilia Hackerson, left, New Roots Coordinator for the International Rescue Committee, joins Mayor Jackie Biskupski as the first harvest of the community garden in the Liberty Wells neighborhood is celebrated on Tuesday, Aug. 30, 2016. As the latest addition to Salt Lake City's Green City Growers program, the Liberty Wells Garden at 1700 S. 700 E. is run by the non-profit Wasatch Community Gardens on city-owned land and provides plots for 44 gardeners to grow vegetables. The site is also where four resettled refugee families from Sudan and Bhutan grow vegetables through an innovative partnership between Wasatch Community Gardens and the International Rescue Committee (IRC).
