FLAGSTAFF — Members of the public are invited to submit applications for community garden plots starting on Tuesday, March 1. Garden plots are assigned on a first-come-first-served basis, with priority being given to returning gardeners who submit an application by April 1.
Community garden plots are available for rent at three locations; the Bonito Location at 527 W Elm Avenue, the Izabel Location at 2300 N Izabel Street and the Southside Location at 900 S O’Leary Street.
Plot rentals cost $65 for the growing season (May – October). Full and half scholarships are available for interested individuals on a case-by-case basis.
Community gardens are sources of fresh produce, places for physical exercise, sites of outdoor education and a space for the community to connect. Gardens play an important role in enhancing physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being which helps to create socially sustainable communities. Collaboration in these spaces builds a stronger sense of community ownership.
