How do I become a member?
If you would like to join our garden, our plot rental application is open every February & March for our April-December growing season.
Plot Application for the 2023 growing season:
Currently the garden has filled all of its plots for the 2023 growing season.
If you’d like to be put on the waitlist for a plot (or partial/shared plot), please fill out the Plot Application for 2023 season form. We will be in contact if a spot opens up.
In early spring of 2024, we will open up applications for the 2024 growing season.
If you have any questions about becoming a member of the garden, please email Carl at cjn009@bucknell.edu or call him at 570-577-1231.
To make more room for others, we encourage you to consider sharing a plot with a neighbor or friend!
