With spring just around the corner, we are thrilled to announce the opening of community garden plot applications March 1st! Our garden spaces are an excellent way to connect with fellow community members, boost mental and physical health, learn about Flagstaff food systems, and grow delicious, healthy food!
This season, plots at the Bonito, Historic Southside, and Hal Jensen Community Gardens will be available to rent. Returning gardeners will have priority until April 1st to secure their plots from the previous season. The remaining available plots will be offered to new gardeners on a first-come, first-served basis. New gardeners who do not have access to growing space at home or those who qualify for SNAP benefits will be given priority through the application process.
Community Garden registration fees are $65 annually per plot to cover water expenses, infrastructure improvements, and provide resources to gardeners throughout the season. Full ($65) or half ($32.50) scholarships are available to those who express need through the online plot application.
