Plant and grow your garden at the oldest local organic community gardens!
Since 1975, the Meadowbrook Organic Garden program has supported
healthy bodies and a healthy community. We provide space, water, hoses
and wheelbarrows. You supply tools, plants, labor, and optional fencing. A
garden supervisor can assist with questions or concerns. Garden plots are
rented in “as is” condition, and participation is at your own risk. For more
information, call 217-384-4062 or read the garden manual at

2. In addition to the plot rental fee, gardeners pay a $30 deposit. The
deposit is returned at the end of the growing season if the gardener
abides by the Urbana Park District’s published guidelines. Returning
gardeners in good standing earn a discounted deposit.
