The garden has been closed to new gardeners from March 2020 due to the COVID crisis and was reopened to new gardeners on 4/21/2021. If you are interested in getting a plot at the garden, please fill out the form below and you will receive an invitation when the next garden orientation is scheduled (please scroll down to the bottom of the page for orientation updates) . Everyone who signs up for a plot will receive invitations to attend the orientations as they are scheduled until we run out of plots. Plots are assigned on a first come, first served basis to those who RSVP to the invitation and attend the virtual orientations. Please note that most plots in the garden are extremely overgrown and in need of a heavy clean up. Clearing a garden plot and getting it ready for planting takes about 40 hours of work and maintaining a plot requires a few hours work every week

We will reach out to those who signed up using the Google form at the bottom of the page when plots become available.
