Can individuals participate in the Richmond Grows Gardens Program?
Yes. We encourage individuals that want to garden to contact a Garden Group that has a parcel and is offering plots. A Garden Group can choose to divide its parcel into individual plots. If it does so, then the Group must create a process to offer individual plots to approved gardeners on an annual basis subject to renewal on a first come, first served basis. The Group may charge a fee for each plot but the fee cannot be more than $50 per plot. Garden Groups must also have a process to provide a minimum of 10% of available plots to residents that cannot afford the fee charged by the Garden Group. This will help support the City’s goal of encouraging and facilitating access to fresh, nutritional food for residents and particularly those in underserved communities.
