Plots sold out for 2015

Our 22 community plots sold quickly this year, with the last one going the day after our kickoff event. We will keep a waitlist running, so if you're interested in getting a plot this year (if someone backs out) or next year (if any of our current gardeners give up their plot), please send an email with the subject "waitlist" to foothillsgarden(at)gmail.com.

Anyone interested in a plot may also want to contact some of the other local gardens: Woodmen Roberts Elementary, Rockrimmon Elementary, and Eagleview Middle School may have plots available.

It has been inspiring to see the interest in our garden grow this year!

One plot left!

Our garden kickoff event last night was a great success, but we've still got one plot left. If you'd like to lease the last available plot for the 2015 growing season, send an email to foothillsgarden(at)gmail.com and we will get you set up!

Plots available starting this Wednesday!

Don't forget that if you're new to the garden and you'd like a plot, your best bet for getting one will be at our kickoff event this Wednesday, March 4th at the Rockrimmon Public Library. We'll be there from 6:30-8:00pm. You are welcome to drop in and get signed up for your plot!

Rental fees for the 2015 season remain the same: $70. This fee includes your plot and your water for the season. All gardeners are expected to oversee a school plot as well (as an "overseer," you are a back up in case the plot isn't being watered/weeded/harvested sufficiently). We will assign both your personal plot and your school plot on Wednesday when you sign up.

In addition to signing up for a plot, you'll be able to meet the directors of Go West Camps. Go West will have campers working in our school garden this summer. We thought you might like a chance to meet the directors and find out more about their program in the garden.

See you Wednesday!
