Gardeners of all skill levels are invited to reserve a plot and be part of Lawrenceville’s new Community Garden at Rhodes Jordan Park, 100 East Crogan Street.

Applications are being accepted for 4 feet by 8 feet garden plots for the 2020 season. These raised beds are $35 each and applicants are required to perform 12 hours of community volunteer service annually toward the general care and upkeep of the garden.

The Lawrenceville Community Garden is the first of the community garden initiatives that make up the Harvest Gwinnett program. The gardens and programs are managed by Live Healthy Gwinnett and made possible through partnerships with Lawrenceville, Food Well Alliance, Gwinnett Department of Community Services, UGA Extension Gwinnett, Gwinnett County Sheriff’s Office and other community organizations.

Information, including applications, permits, and guidelines: www.LiveHealthyGwinnett.com or contact HarvestGwinnett@gwinnettcounty.com.
