Want to Join Our Garden?

Do you love to garden but don’t have the space in your current home? Do you want to learn to garden but aren’t sure what to do or if you are ready to make a permanent addition to your yard? Or do you simply want to become part of a garden community? If the answer to any of these questions is yes, we can help – we have plots available to rent this season.

  • The garden is located on the east side of St. Sebastian’s Elementary School, near the parking lot.
  • Our plots are 10 feet long and 4 feet wide, with the exception of two higher beds that are slightly narrower to make them more easily accessible for someone with reduced mobility.
  • We have water and compost facilities on site, as well as basic gardening tools. Renters provide their own seeds and fencing material, if they choose to have one. Rabbits have discovered our tasty garden, so it is recommended.
  • All renters are required to be members of the CCA, as we are an affiliate of the association. This is separate from the CRA lake membership fees.
  • Plot rental is $25 per plot each season. There is also a $50.00 refundable damage deposit required, as well as a refundable key deposit to access the shed and compost unit. Each renter is also required to complete a few volunteer duties throughout the season.
