FCG Opens New Membership Registration for 2026
The Fairfield Community Garden has opened registration for new members. Don't miss your chance to grow with us this season! We still have plots available and we hope you will join us!
The membership fee for the growing season is $60 and a limited number of sponsored plots are available to low-to-moderate income applicants for just $20.
Each year, all 36 garden plots quickly fill up. Last year's members had the opportunity to reserve a plot early and many of them will join us again this year.
New member applications are processed on a first-come, first-served basis and we offer sponsored memberships to qualified low-to-moderate income individuals. If applications exceed our current capacity, we will place applicants on a waiting list.
Each Membership Includes:
- Rental of one 4' x 16' x 8" raised bed with fertile soil
- Access to a communal seed bank
- Three communal gardens, reserved for perennials such as herbs, strawberries, and flowering plants that attract pollinators
- Rental of two 4' x 50" galvanized trellises and four 6' T-posts for vine trellising

- Organic straw for mulching
- Access to City water and the garden tools and equipment lending library
