Plotholder Program at Tom Settlemire Community Garden
Do you love gardening or want to give it a try? We hope you'll join us in the dirt! At Tom Settlemire Community Garden, we have over 75 individual plots plus our Common Good Garden, where people of all ages and experience levels grow fresh food, beautiful plants, and friendships.
Having a plot here is more than just having space to grow, it’s an open invitation to be part of a friendly, supportive community. You can learn from Master Gardeners, neighbors, and volunteers, and share your own skills and stories too.
As a plot holder, you’ll care for your garden using organic methods, swap advice with garden neighbors, and help by volunteering to maintain the shared spaces. Together, we grow more than plants, we grow a community that welcomes everyone. Join us and start growing today!
