Gardeners Growing Community
Dear Gardeners,
Thank you to all the amazing gardeners, neighbors and friends who keep helping build the garden community! We are excited to welcome a record number of new gardeners this year!
We have a Sold Out garden season in 2021! Please contact us Here to be added to our waiting list for 2022, and in the meantime, watch our Calendar for upcoming Community events. We are excited to be growing a cohesive community of active members.
For new gardeners, Rules & Regulations can be found Here. You are welcome to start preparing your plot if you've completed your registration. The water will be turned on by the city after the last anticipated frost (usually early May). We are looking forward to meeting everyone at our Garden Opening Day Sunday May 23 from 2-4 pm at the garden. Find more information Here.
We are a 100% volunteer organization and every member's contributions count! Don't hesitate to contact us for mentorship and more ways to get involved!
Happy Gardening,

May the wind, be always at your back.

And the rains fall soft upon your fields."

Gary Williams, Gardener
What is cool about gardening with three generations in our family is getting to spend relaxed time outdoors with my family. It is so gratifying to see something flourish when you contribute.
Gina Schley, Founder
The process of helping develop this garden with our community has been life changing for our family. My children are growing up with their hands in the dirt and their community around them.
