Community Garden Plot Membership

The Carpinteria Garden Park is a vibrant and healthy space for community members to grow their own food. One hundred raised beds are available, including a number of 27-inch high beds for easier access for people with limited mobility. The garden is managed by the City of Carpinteria, under the auspices of a Garden Coordinator who will be onsite 20 hours each week. In addition to the space and resources to create nutritious gardens, the Garden Park will provide continuing education on issues related to organic gardening, healthy eating, natural history, and sustainability to the general public.

If there are no vacant garden plots available, prospective gardeners may add their name to a waiting list. You may complete an application now and it will be held until a plot becomes available. There is a first available list and a tall plot only list. Plots will be assigned to gardeners by the Garden Coordinator. Applicants who indicate in their application a need for the higher, more accessible beds will be given priority for those beds.
