Join the TC Community Gardens

Before You Join or Rent a Plot

Before completing your garden application or submitting payment, please review the TC Community Garden membership and plot agreements.

These agreements explain what it means to be a member, how garden plots are used, and how we all help keep the garden welcoming, organized, and cared for throughout the season.

TC Community Garden is a volunteer-run nonprofit. Membership fees and plot rental fees help support the garden by providing shared tools, compost, maintenance, and other resources for gardeners.

To join TC Community Garden as a general member or to rent a garden plot, you must read and agree to the required agreements for the current garden season.
