The McKinley Park Community Garden, which is returning to the neighborhood for the 2018 growing season, has opened up registration for garden plots at its new, permanent location between northbound and southbound Damen Avenue. The first-come, first-served registration of plots runs through March 10, or until its capacity of 24 plots is full.
Interested gardeners should register online as soon as possible in order to secure a plot, which costs $50 for the growing season. After the sign-ups, a garden meet and greet event on March 17 will let gardeners socialize and learn about the site plan, garden workdays and garden events for 2018.
Since the garden site is at a new location, a full build-out of the site requires a new layout and construction of new planters, water tanks and holders for mulch and soil.
Garden organizers have designated Saturday, April 14, as the garden build-out day, during which at least one gardener from each plot will be needed to help construct the new site.
The site plan for the McKinley Park Community Garden displays the layout of garden beds, water tanks and mulch delivery locations.
