There are two pathways to garden at the Live Oak Grange

1. RENT A SPACE IN THE LIVE OAK GRANGE GARDEN

Apply to rent a row ($100/year) or half row ($50/year).  Available garden rows are approximately 100 square feet.  Applications are accepted throughout the year and rows are assigned first-come, first-served.  Priority is given to Grange members who are residents of Live Oak and don't have space to garden at home. Food grown in rented rows belongs to the gardener or household renting that row.  

If you'd like to become a Grange gardener, please complete the Community Garden Rental Application below

  For questions about renting a row and joining the Live Oak Grange Garden, contact garden rental manager

2. JOIN THE LIVE OAK GRANGE SITE COMMITTEE

The Live Oak Grange property is managed collectively by members of the  site committee. Landscaping and orchard work days are scheduled throughout the year.  Vegetables, fruits and herbs grown in non-rented community spaces of the property are available to Grange members that participate in work days and are also intended for use at Grange potlucks and Grange-sponsored community events. To become a member of the  site committee, one only needs to become a Grange member. 

Site committee meetings are held at the Grange on the fourth Sunday of the month at 2pm and work days are listed on the Grange Event Calendar.   For questions about participating in work-days and joining the site committee, contact site committee chair Michael Johnson. 

The Live Oak Grange Chicken Tenders are a cooperative group of caretakers for a flock of chickens at the Live Oak Grange.   Each chicken tender adopts one or more days of the week to care for the chickens.   Chicken tenders must be Grange members and complete a 90-day training period to demonstrate sufficient caretaking responsibility.   Annual chicken tenders rental dues are $25/year, plus monthly dues of $15 for feed and supplies, due to the chicken tender chairperson by the first day of the month.
