This particular one is called "Fremont Community Garden". Fremont Community Garden is comprised of 52 plots. Each plot is rented out to local residences on a yearly basis. Rent is based on size of the plot. Rent for the small plots are 15 dollars a year, while the larger plots rent out for 30 dollars a year. A 25 dollar deposit is required at time of signing but is refunded to you when you leave, as long as you leave the plot in good condition. These plots are managed by a member of the Garden Advisory Board. What a wonderful way to meet your neighbors, and to reap the harvest of your hard work ! The gardens are also 100% organic.
