Registration Process

Registration for a Community Garden plot will happen simultaneously online and in person beginning on Monday, February 6, 2023 at 8:00 a.m. Forms can be printed from this site and brought in if registering in person. Mail-in applications will no longer be accepted.

Cost for each plot is $35.00. The garden plots are filled on a first-come first-serve basis. When garden plots fill, a wait list will be created. Plots are limited to one plot per household. Gardeners will be contacted with plot assignments and information on orientation dates.

What is a Community Garden?

A Community Garden is a single piece of land gardened collectively by a group of people. Community Gardens provide access to fresh produce and plants as well as access to satisfying labor, neighborhood improvement, sense of community and connection to the environment. They are publicly functioning in terms of ownership, access and management, as well as typically owned in trust by local governments or nonprofits.

Rules & Guidelines

Click to the right to see a complete list of the rules and guidelines for gardeners of the Community Garden. Below are items of special importance:
  • Produce grown through this program cannot be for commercial use and may not be sold.
  • This is an organic garden, therefore use of your own fertilizers, insecticides or weed repellents is NOT allowed at any time.

The City will not provide any plant material or seeds for growing. Gardeners will be responsible for providing their own plant material.


Volunteer & Educational Opportunities

Even if you are not interested in maintaining a plot for the season, there are plenty of opportunities to get involved by volunteering. We are always looking for individuals who are interested in volunteering their time and talents. Positions are available on the garden oversight committee as well. Please contact Stephanie Richardson on how you can get involved.
