  • Interested gardeners will be able to enter an online lottery for a community garden plot. The lottery will be open through the end of March, with names drawn the first week of April.
  • Due to high demand, there will be a limit of one plot per household.
  • The rate is $25 for residents (must show proof of residency) and $35 for non-residents.
