How do I join the Monroe Community Garden?
For this program there will be no rental fee. To join, you need only register with the city. At registration, you will be responsible for a raised garden bed in Pilot Park (515 East Church Street) measuring 8 x 4 feet, shade-free and filled with a compost and soil mix. Each bed is ready to plant and comes with access to hoses for watering. Gardeners will provide their own tools. Beds will be assigned on a first-come, first-served basis. Once approved and given your garden bed number, just choose your favorite seeds, do the tending, and enjoy your harvest!
