Water Access
We have 32 watering stations to keep your plants happy all season long. Bring your own hose and let it rain.
Till and No-Till Plots
Annual plots are tilled each spring to give gardeners a fresh start. Perennial plots remain undisturbed to build healthy soil and support established plants.
Compost Delivery
Healthy gardens start with healthy soil. Compost is delivered each spring and included with membership.
Straw Delivery
Members can order straw bales from Black Rapids Farms for delivery to the garden on the first weekend of June.
Seedling Delivery
Members can order seedlings and plants from Veghead Farms at a discounted rate, with weekly deliveries to the garden.
Social Events
Seasonal events include gardening workshops, seed and seedling swaps, and a Harvest Party each fall.
