Join the Garden

Applications for 2026 are now open! Please follow the instructions below to be added to the waitlist as we confirm 2026 plot availability.

Please email scarecrow@glenwoodcommunitygarden.com if you have any questions.

Thank you for your interest in joining the community gardens! Please read the garden information and rules before beginning the application process. If garden spaces are currently full, we still encourage those who wish to obtain a garden plot to submit an application as each year has a turnover of gardeners who for one reason or another are not coming back for the next season.

Our garden is located adjacent to the Glenwood Springs Community Center at 100 Wulfsohn Rd.

The garden welcomes both experienced and novice gardeners. Plots are available on a seasonal basis; most beds measure 10′ x 15′.

We look forward to another successful growing season in 2026!
