Community Garden

 

The community garden is open to all residents, but in order to use a garden bed, you must reserve one in advance. Every August, each garden bed becomes available for the upcoming growing season. When you reserve a garden bed, it becomes your responsibility from September through June. The garden beds are assigned to individual households, and everything that grows belongs to that household.

 

There are nominal fees that help cover the cost of irrigation, soil replenishment, community tools, and guidance throughout the growing season.

 

Residents typically have the opportunity to reserve a garden bed during a 30-day window in August. If you missed this window, you can add your name to the waiting list. In the event someone cancels their reservation before the end of the season, we will contact residents on the waiting list, in the order in which they added their names. Every year in July/August, the garden beds are cleared out, and the waiting list is wiped clean to start the next season on a blank slate. It's this time that a new 30-day window to reserve a garden bed becomes available. If there are more residents interested than the number of garden beds, a lottery is hosted to determine who receives a bed.
