Save money on fresh produce, provide a bounty of healthy food for the dinner table and get in a little gentle exercise by growing your own vegetables in one of King County Parks’ community garden plots this year.
King County Parks offers community garden plots for rent at North Green River Park in Kent. Each plot measures 10 feet wide by 40 feet long, and costs just $50 to rent per season. Plots are renewable from year to year.
The garden plots are located at a bend in the Green River near Central Avenue South and South 259th Street in Kent, and are easily accessible from State Route 167. The land features enough sunny acreage for more than 100 garden plots where fresh vegetables and flowers can grow for months on end.
Registrations are now being accepted for the roughly 20 garden plots that are available for the 2013 season. Interested gardeners can call 206-205-3661 to request an application form and a chart that shows the available plots from which to choose.
Gardeners can also be assigned a plot from parks staff by downloading a registration form and driving directions at www.kingcounty.gov. Click on “North Green River Park Community Garden: Application Form” located on the right side column under “Useful Links.” Mail the completed form with payment to the address printed on the form.
More information is available by contacting King County Parks at 206-205-3661.
