Since 2020, LEAP has been working with a suite of community partners to build a foodshed network for our region.

How does it work?

Members of the community can rent a plot in one of LEAP’s Community Gardens and grow annual vegetables and flowers for themselves, to share with friends, or to donate.

Although each garden location is unique, each LEAP Community Garden is equipped with irrigation, hand tools, compost, and support from the community gardens manager.
‍
These plots range in size at each of our garden locations, and the rental price is calculated according to the square footage.

2023 Annual Fees

5' x 10' and 5' x 12' gardens $30/year
5’ x 30’ gardens $75 / year
15’ x 15’ gardens $100 / year
Garden scholarships available upon request.
