Community Garden Pilot Project

Sign up to participate in our 2023 pilot program at Veterans Park! Garden plots will be available from early May to mid-October. Preference will be given to those living in high-density housing without current access to gardening space. A few accessible, raised-table garden beds will also be available (update: they have been assigned). Plot rental is $45 for the 2023 season. Due to limited space, only Richfield residents are allowed to apply. You can register online (email rlindholm@richfieldmn.gov), over the phone (612-861-9385), or in person at the Community Center.
