LANCASTER, Pa. — The Lancaster County Department of Parks and Recreation announced this week that garden plots are now available to rent for the 2024 season, which will run from April 15 to October 15.
Those interested in renting a plot can do so online here, visit the Park Office at 1050 Rockford Road, Lancaster, or call (717) 299-8215.
Office hours are 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday.
Plots are available to gardeners of all skill levels, whether they're looking to grow flowers or vegetables. Small plots (20 feet by 20 feet) cost $30 per season to rent, while large plots (20 feet by 40 feet) cost $36.
The garden plots lie along Farm View Drive in Lancaster County Central Park.
"Being involved in a community garden plot program provides an opportunity to meet people and to share gardening techniques, plants, and food," said Lisa J. Sanchez, naturalist and gardener at Lancaster County Central Park. "It is a great idea to grow your own food -- to choose what you want to plant. Watching birds and other wildlife in their natural habitat is a plus."
