The community garden, a working model of suburban agriculture, is a central feature of the Farm Park.

Returning members, experienced gardeners and newcomers are welcome. Registration will be accepted through May 1. Each member is required to contribute a minimum of two hours of volunteer service per week. There will be work requirements for all aspects of the garden. The work shifts are 8 to 10 a.m., Wednesday through Saturday and Tuesday, 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. Additional hours of garden-related community service may be requested during planting season, peak harvest times or special projects work days.
