About Us |
|
Welcome to the home of the Marymoor Community Garden Association. This purpose of this website is to help you communicate with us for questions or comments on any aspect of our garden - for new and returning gardeners. We are a non-profit organization working in cooperation with King County Parks to rent 2.1 acres of public gardening space. There are typically 80 or more gardeners for vegetables, fruits, flowers and herbs—all grown organically. This is the sixth year the Marymoor Community Gardeners Association has administered the garden, but this public garden is one of the oldest of its kind in the country, spanning over 30 years in operation. |

Dear Marymoor Community Gardeners,
We have garden spots available!
These include full-size 10’x40’ plots and 10’x20’ half-plots, for those who are unable or unwilling to care for a full-size plot. Since they are in front, they do need to be maintained meticulously.
Note, the rules and regulations have been significantly revised, so please read them thoroughly before filling out your contract agreement and application.
Beginning this year, gardeners will be required to volunteer 8 hours per plot rented through participation in work parties, food bank plot maintenance, etc., meaning that if you're renting one plot, you need to contribute eight hours during the garden season, two plots means 16 hours and half-size plots will require four hours.
Both the Contract Agreement and the Application need to be signed/completed and mailed to MCGA by with your full payment.
Here is the the 2009 garden application in Adobe Acrobat .pdf format. Print it, fill out the appropriate application and mail to —
Marymoor Community Gardeners Association PO Box 133 Redmond, WA 98073-0133
Or —
You can email us and we will send you a copy in Microsoft Word.
