Lease/Renew a Garden Plot

For New Gardeners: How to Lease a Garden Plot

Thank you for your interest in our community garden program. We assign community garden plots to new gardeners on a first-come, first-serve basis beginning in mid-February. Our program is very popular and our gardens fill quickly each season. Current gardeners have the opportunity to renew plots from season to season, so openings arise as current gardeners release plots.

We maintain a wait list for our gardens and if no plots are available at the time you contact us, we will add you to our list. We place people from the waitlist according to the date they contact us.  

To join our community garden program, please call the Community Garden Coordinator at 360-835-8501 ext. 104. Before making your call, please review the information below:
