Interested in Renting a Garden Bed with FCG?

We have the following types of beds available:

  • 12 raised beds that measure 12’x4′ (full size)

  • 2 beds half the size at 6’x4’ (half size)

  • 1 accessible raised bed that measure 9'x3' and is 30" high

Our raised beds are constructed of untreated cedar and filled with a blend of screened topsoil and plant-based compost.  

Garden beds are rented out each season. Renters may plant fruits, veggies, or flowers in their raised beds. Your rental fees cover water costs and any additional garden maintenance. All plot fees collected by renters are directly reinvested in the garden. 

All gardeners are required to contribute 10 volunteer hours to the garden. Gardeners must sign up for at least 1 week of watering before their plot application is approved. Any other volunteer tasks should be discussed with the Garden Coordinator.

Donation Bed

I’m ready to rent!

  1. Email us to check plot availability, we are also happy to meet you at the garden for a tour and to select a bed.

  2. Complete the 2026 DUG Application and Waiver (credit card/PayPal/Venmo). If you would like to pay by check, please note this on your application and submit it. After it’s submitted, email us so we can help. All gardeners working on a bed will need to complete the application and waiver, regardless of payment.

  3. Review and agree to the 2026 FCG Garden Rules and Regulations. These rules are specific to our garden. While many of the rules mirror DUG’s guidance around organic gardening practices (which we also require), these rules discuss parking, bathroom access, maintenance, etc. You will need to sign this document stating you have read and agree to the rules and have been provided a copy. If you would like a paper copy, email us!

  4. All gardeners are required to volunteer 10 hours of their time over the season helping with routine garden maintenance like weeding, pruning, etc. If outdoor labor isn’t your thing, email us and we can find something else – we are always in need of help behind the scenes. Always.

Once fees have been paid, all gardeners will receive a handout with common gardening information. FCG Steering Committee members will provide gardener support throughout the season. We’re happy to help!
