2010 Applications Now Available

Kicking off our 2010 garden

Application forms are now available for 2010 community garden plots. Applications must be postmarked or delivered to Town Hall (4 NE 7th St) by March 12, 2010 to be considered for a 2010 garden plot.

Anyone interested in a plot, including returning gardeners, must submit an application.

New in 2010
This year, organizers may consider assigning plots for year round gardening, depending on the amount of interest.  Year round plots would be clustered together in one section of the garden.  Year round gardeners would be responsible for cleaning up and preparing their plots and planting each year.  The Town of Coupeville would not do any work on year round garden sites.  If allowed, year round gardens will be for planting winter crops, not perennials.
