Family Garden Program
The Dodge Nature Center Family Garden Program is an opportunity for community members to learn and implement organic gardening techniques. The Dodge Nature Center farm will provide the 15’ x 15’ plots, use of tools, soil amendments and pest control methods. The garden will be open to gardeners at their convenience throughout the gardening season until closing on October 14th.
There is a second option in our garden. Ten of the plots are raised-bed plots. These 15’ x 15’ plots are divided into three-3’ x 15’beds raised 16” off the ground with a 3’ path between them. These plots are ADA width for a wheelchair and make it more accessible to those who have difficulty gardening at ground level.
Registration
There are 40 garden plots available, reserved on a first come, first serve basis. Reservations requested after the garden plots are full will be placed on a waiting list.
