Before you start
A garden plot is a rented working area, not a public picking garden. Enter a plot only if you have a current rental agreement. The four addresses below are the complete town community-garden list.
Join the official online waitlist for the garden you want. A waitlist entry does not give immediate permission to garden or guarantee a start date. The estimated delay is important if you need growing space this season.
