Sign Up to rent a garden plot

2026 Membership Information and Rules

Dear 2026 Prospective Garden Members,

Welcome (or, welcome back)! Would you like to rent a plot at the Roselle Park Community Garden? We have about twenty-five 4-foot by 8-foot garden beds available this year. Please complete your application no later than Saturday, May 2nd, 2026 for an opportunity. 

The seasonal rental fee is $50. We provide water via a timed irrigation system, your bed will come filled with fresh organic mushroom compost, and we will have a wide variety of free seedlings available.

If we receive applications for more than the number of available beds, we will award spaces based on a lottery. One application per household, please.

In order to ensure the best experience of the garden, we ask that you respect these guidelines:

1. We cannot emphasize this enough - do not take produce from any bed other than your own without permission! Be considerate, make friends, share produce if that is agreed. Otherwise - if you didn't grow it, don't pick it!!!

2. Please provide the requested contact information - communications will be sent via e-mail only. We are no longer able to use the Remind App. Please add contacts for all people who will maintain the bed (or, for example, an organizational mailbox). 

3. Each gardener is responsible for maintaining their beds. It is your responsibility to notify us if you are unable to care for your plot for any reason (vacation, work, illness etc.). 

4. Children must be accompanied and supervised by an adult at all times. Pets must be leashed and properly supervised to prevent damage or contamination of the beds.

5. Each gardener must complete the Release of all Claims form in the application.

6. This is an organic garden. The application of any non-organic chemicals is strictly prohibited.

7. Large vining plants (cucumbers, squash, melons, and pumpkins) should be grown on a trellis. It is your responsibility to build or provide your own trellis. Please ask us for help!

8. You are responsible for clearing your plot at the end of the season.

9. Please do not damage to the irrigation lines with tools, and notify us of any damage you see so we can make repairs. 

This garden is meant to be a place of fun, education and relaxation, and keeping it well-maintained is a community effort. We ask that if you "see something, say something!" Message us on Facebook or email us so we can address any issues as soon as possible. 

We hope to see you soon!
