Community Garden Plots Available

If any of the Lucas community is interested in alternative community gardening while Lucas undergoes renovations, the Iowa City Parks and Recreation has community garden plots available for rent for the 2016 growing season at Wetherby Park, located at 2400 Taylor Drive, and Chadek Green Park, located at 1920 Friendship Street. 

Registration for the Iowa City Community Garden Plot Program will begin at 7:30 a.m. on Monday, April 4 at the Robert A. Lee Community Recreation Center, 220 South Gilbert Street. Plots are available on a first-come, first-serve basis and interested gardeners are encouraged to arrive early on the first day of registration. The Robert A. Lee facility will open at 6 a.m. and numbers will be available on the lower level of the building near the customer service desk. These numbers are to hold a place in line only; they do not represent garden plot number assignments. Staff will begin calling numbers in order of arrival beginning at 7:30 a.m. Registrants will be required to sign a lease agreement to maintain a plot through Oct. 1. Plot sizes and prices vary.
