Thank you for submitting a community garden plot request.

We assign plots each year February through May, as space is available. If your request is received after the cutoff date for plot assignments, or there are no available plots in your preferred garden, your name will be added to the waitlist for next year. Once you've been assigned a plot, you'll be given the opportunity to renew your plot each year.

If you have any questions, please email us at pkcomgard@portlandoregon.gov or call 503-823-1612.

Garden Plot Costs and Sizes
Starter or single-sized plots are recommended for beginning gardeners and/or families of 1-2 people. Standard-sized plots are good for families of 2-3 people, and double-sized plots are more appropriate for large families or groups and experienced gardeners.

  • ADA Accessible Raised Bed (4x8x2 sq. ft.) - $20
  • Starter Plot (approx. 50 sq. ft.) - $20
  • Single Plot (approx. 100 sq. ft.) - $36
  • Standard Plot (approx. 200 sq. ft.) - $66
  • Double Plot (approx. 400 sq. ft.) - $124
  • Quad Plot (approx. 800 sq. ft.) - $220

We will contact you via phone or email when a plot is available and you will be asked to;

  1. Pay for the garden plot
  2. Abide by the community garden policies and procedures.

Scholarship Assistance
If you cannot afford the cost of the plot, we can offer scholarship assistance. Please complete the scholarship form and return it to the Community Gardens office. If you would like to donate to the scholarship fund, you may do so through the Portland Parks Foundation website.

Plot Transfer

If you already have a garden plot in the program and want to make a change, please do not fill out this form, instead submit a Transfer Request Form.
