Garden plots are available for a fee each year. There is a one time deposit equal to the annual rent. Your deposit is returned when you notify the treasurer you are leaving the garden, you have your plot cleaned/leveled and are in good standing with the board. Gardeners are able to rent two plots per year and if requested and fees paid, get to keep their plots for years to come. It is recommended that new gardeners only rent one plot the first year.

Garden plots for new gardeners (30' X 50') rent for $50, half size plots (30' X 25') rent for $40. Boxes rent for $25 - $40 depending on the size. Must call for availability. 

Call Deb Sisco at 701-240-3624 or use the contact form to get information on renting a garden spot. Applications are available under the Important Forms tab. Upon request, an application can be mailed/emailed to prospective gardeners.

If you currently have an assigned plot, you may keep your same plot by paying your fees before April 1 by mailing them to:
