About the Community Garden Program
The Community Garden Program offers Montgomery County residents parkland for local food production. Our gardeners grow much more than vegetables and flowers – community gardens make positive environmental, economic, and aesthetic impacts on daily lives. Learn more about our 14 community garden locations below.
As part of the community, gardeners agree to:
- Read and follow the Conditions of Use.
- Join the communication listserv for their garden location.
- Be active participants in the community.
- Keep the communal areas weeded and chipped.
- Contribute eight communal service hours annually.
- Perform community garden maintenance tasks as directed by the Parks Volunteer Garden Liaisons in each garden.
