Hi Nancy
If you are a new applicant to the site, you will need to wait until March 15th to apply. At that time go to the Clerk’s office at the Municipal Building (2 Jake Garzio Drive – upper level) with proof of residency and apply for a plot. The number of sites are limited and the Gardens get fairly fully subscribed each year, so I would suggest that you go as closely to the 15th as you are able.
Returning gardeners who had plots last year may sign up to get their plots beginning March 1st.
There is a great gardening association of the gardeners who work together on overall site upkeep, so we highly encourage that you get involved with them.
Hope this is helpful.
