Garden Plot Renewals

Current community gardeners who are in good standing (no overdue garden rule violations)  will always have the opportunity to renew the same garden plot for the following season. Garden plot renewals happen during the winter and gardeners must agree to the community garden Rules & Agreement and pay the yearly fee.

For gardeners looking to renew their plot, find out how much your plot is here. Please read the rules and agreement here, and once you accept at the bottom of the page, you will be directed to our login page where you can enter in your information.

Garden plots must be renewed every year in January.

Garden Plot Transfers

Current community gardeners can request to transfer to a different plot or garden site. Transfer requests can be made any time of the year and we will try to accommodate requests for the following gardening season. Gardeners on the transfer list are prioritized and will be offered an available plot before it is offered to an individual on the community garden waitlist.

If you are a current gardener and would like to transfer to a different plot, please email the Urban Agriculture Program Coordinator with the following

information:

• Your name
• Current garden site and plot number
• The garden site you would like to transfer to
• What size of plot you would like

Subsidies

We offer subsidized rates to those for whom cost may be a barrier.  Simply contact us and request a subsidized rate of 25%, 50%, 75%, or 100%.  There is no need to provide detailed information; we trust that folks will only request a subsidy if they need it.  While we attempt to accommodate all subsidy requests, we reserve the right to limit the number of subsidies provided.

We also appreciate donations from other gardeners or the public to help cover these costs
