Registration is now open for the 2019 season at Harvest Farm in Suwanee, Georgia’s largest organic community garden. Harvest Farm, located in Suwanee’s White Street Park, offers 76 plots that can be rented on an annual basis to grow veggies, fruits, flowers, and herbs.
Plots are available in three different sizes. Small plots are 5-feet by 5–feet for $50 per year, medium plots are 5-feet by 9-feet and $75 per year, and large plots are 5-feet by 12-feet and rent for $100 per year. An annual $15 registration fee is added.
Fees include use of a raised bed, utilities, basic community tools, social and educational events, and compost (when available). Gardeners will incur personal expenses for seeds, plants, amendments, stakes, trellises, etc.
Plots are assigned on a first-come first-served basis with priority given to Suwanee residents, property owners, and taxpayers. Suwanee residents/taxpayers also receive a 25 percent discount on registration fees. Since the success of the garden depends upon the support of its gardeners, each plot member is required to contribute 12 hours of volunteer service a year.
