Do You Have a Question?

Applications for New Gardeners opens midnight, January 1st, and remains open until we have received a full waitlist. The waitlist may re-open during the year if we have exhausted all application. The New Garden Application link will be prominately displayed on our Home Page. All gardeners must agree to, and sign our Indemnification Form as required by Marymoor Community Garden Association, and King County Parks and Recreation. The indemnification form is now part of the application process, and no further agreements will be needed prior to review, invoicing and assignment.

Applications are open to all individuals under the following conditions:

• Plot applications are limited to one (1) application per household, or physical address. Duplicates will automatically be removed.

• Applications from existing gardeners are not permitted and will be removed from consideration.

• Past gardeners who have been banned, or have unpaid invoices will be removed from consideration.

Once applications are processed an email will be sent to the applicant containing a link for payment of the requested garden. Invoices are valid for 7 days, and failure to make payment within the 7 days will result in the garden being passed to the next applicant in order of receipt. The gardener's application will removed from the waitlist and not considered for the remainder of the application process.

All applications are cleared at the end of each year. If you had not been granted a plot, and wish to try again during the next season, you will be required to submit a new application when they open.

We follow Washington State University's (WSU's) guidelines on Integrated Pest Management ("IPM"). IPM is a set of sustainable agricultural practices to reduce health risks and environmental impacts. For more information, click the following link: https://ipm.wsu.edu/.

Gardeners may use products approved for organic gardening that are OMRI certified, such as fertilizers, compost, and amendments. Examples of organic products for controlling pests include OMRI certified products like Sluggo and Safer Insecticidal Soap.

We welcome children to the garden. To ensure their safety, they must always be supervised by an adult, especially in the parking lot and along the north and south roads.

• Do not allow children to

  • Play with garden tools or wheelbarrows.

  • Climb fences or dirt piles, enter another gardener's plot, or handle another gardener's crops.

  • Play in the water or operate hoses and spigots.

  • Enter the food bank garden areas.

We love dogs, but dogs are not allowed in the garden. This includes the garden plots and paths that connect one section of the garden to the next. The north road (the gravel road that flanks X, A, B, and C sections) does not belong to us. It is a utility road controlled by the park. Park visitors can walk their dogs on that road, provided they are on a leash.

Service animals specifically trained to aid a person with a disability are always welcome.
