Community Garden Plots —
Wagner Farm was an important truck farm during the 1920’s with many garden plots scattered over the land. We want to continue this tradition and provide a chance
for gardeners to practice their hobby in a very unique setting.
Participants will receive a 10’ x 20’ plot of land to grow all kinds of flowers, vegetables, and fruits. Gardeners must provide their own seeds and transplants and are in charge of maintaining their plot throughout the season. An informational meeting will take place on Thurs. May 10 at 7 pm to learn about the program and receive your plot location.
IMPORTANT NOTE: This is a Lottery Program! Resident lottery registration starts on Thurs., Feb. 9 at 9 am and continues through Sun., Feb. 19.
4 Ways to register: Online at
glenviewparks.org, in person, via fax, by mail.
Once all lottery registrations have been processed, our computer system will run an electronic random draw. Enrollment confirmations are then emailed to all households participating in the lottery. Registration for non-residents and those residents who missed the lottery for any remaining garden spaces begins at 9 am on Mon., Feb. 27 on a first-come, first-served basis.
