Thank you for your interest in being part of the Herter Garden Community. The garden is currently full, but you can add your name to the waiting list; the waiting list can be one to three years long. 

The annual fee for a plot is $40. The plots vary in size and shape but each one is approximately 14 x 14 feet. Once you are assigned a plot, you may keep that plot as long as you remain a responsible member of the garden and pay your annual fee.

We have two group garden clean-up days per year — one in the spring and one in the fall. All gardeners are expected to participate in both clean-ups. Gardeners are also expected to keep their plots planted, tended, and free of trash.

Before you sign up on the waiting list, please be sure that you have the time to maintain your plot! Tending to your plot means watering and weeding at least 1-2 times per week during the season starting in May and going through early September.

We are an all volunteer community garden — so besides the two clean up days and taking care of your own plot we also ask that you  volunteer time to help with other tasks to keep the garden running smoothly! These tasks include things such as: helping new gardeners, or planning clean up days, or maintaining the facilities. 

Hope to see you in the garden!
