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

gardeners in good standing earn a discounted deposit.
