GARDEN Partners, Organizations and Gardeners
The garden is made up of local downtown organizations and individual community members who have been allocated a garden bed. Currently, the garden is an allocated-style community garden with a portion of beds for local organizations/community groups and another portion of garden beds allocated to individuals from the community who applied during the build phase in person or through our ongoing Garden Waitlist sign-up below.

NEW GARDENER FAQ
1) Who can join the garden? Anyone! We aim to create an accessible, welcoming space for all community members to participate.
2) What does it mean to 'join' the Community Garden? Each new gardener can sign up to use 1 garden bed to grow food and flowers. Each bed is 4' x 3.3', offering 13 sq. ft. of growing space/bed. The cost of using each garden bed is $20/year/bed. This includes: access to great soil in a cedar raised bed, water access (garden hoses) and monthly emails and updates. Please let us know if the annual Garden Fees are restrictive; we aim to create an accessible growing space for all community members.
3) How long will the garden last? In short: one growing season at a time. We take each year growing season by growing season, and we'll be sure to let any gardeners know about future plans for the property.
4) Do the gardens fill up? Yes, currently the garden is full, but if you put your information in the Waitlist form, you will be contacted if/when a space becomes available.
