Adopt a Garden Plot

Adopt a Garden Plot - Heritage Community Gardens

We are excited about your interest in adopting a garden plot! We are pleased to offer several gardening options to you.

Plot Options
Heritage Community Garden offers raised garden plots and in-ground gardens. There are 38 raised plots at Heritage. Our raised garden plots are built from cement cinder blocks. There are a variety of garden plot sizes. Most raised plots are two block layers high, but a few are three layers high. We are happy to assist you in selecting a garden plot.

For information on available plots and to adopt a garden plot please contact the Community Garden Coordinator by email or by phone at (512) 943-3671.

We will supply:

Garden plot with soil
Water with hose access
Tools such as rakes, shovels, wheel barrows, and hand gloves
Seeds
Guidance on what to plant throughout the year

You'll be expected to:

Pay the one-time deposit and annual plot fee. See details about fees below.
Tend to the plot you adopted by watering, weeding, and harvesting.
Harvest the produce when ready and give 10% back to the community.
Take action to control bugs and other pests.
Attend gardener meetings.
Agree to and follow the garden Guidelines and Rules.

Plot Fees
Plot fees for Heritage Community Garden include a deposit and annual fee. The deposit is a $20.00 one-time fee which is refundable when the plot is returned to us cleared out and in good condition. The annual plot fee is $20.00 and is per person, not per plot. If you are interested in adopting 2 or more plots, the annual fee is still $20.00.
