The Village's Parks, Recreation and Forestry
Department is now taking reservations for plots the community garden at
Josten Park. The community garden provides gardening
opportunities for the physical and social benefit of our Village residents.
What are Community Gardens?
Community gardens are places where
people can rent, for a small seasonal fee, their own garden plot to raise
produce.
These gardens also contribute to a
more livable environment, promote a more positive community image, and create
opportunities for neighbors to work together. Community gardeners know that
gardening and plants are good for people and their neighborhoods.
How are garden plots assigned?
Garden plots are assigned on a first
come, first served basis. New plots will be awarded by mid-May. If no plots are
available in the garden , you will be put on a wait list and notified when one
becomes available.
Renter’s Responsibilities:
Garden renters are responsible for
keeping assigned plots neat and clean.- They supply their own seed, fertilizer, and equipment
for proper preparation, growing, cultivating and harvesting crops.
- Renters water their own crops using buckets and without
overuse of the water supply.
- Renters cultivate and/or mulch to control weeds
(herbicides and/or pesticides are prohibited).
- Lastly, renters must take all debris with them, and
remove all garden refuse and stakes by October 31 of each year.
How do I sign up? To rent a garden plot, complete the form on the backside of

will be mailed to that address provided with instructions, rules and policies
