Our garden is $12 a year for a plot (includes a garden key) and $5 for supporting membership but no key. We have roughly 80 active plots. Elderly members get a reduced rate. Local community organizations can get a free plot but it must be utilized. We can keep the rates low due to our active fundraising with grants, donations, t-shirt sales or events. All plot holding members must contribute 4 hours of community garden work per month and attend a minimum number of monthly garden meetings.
