Lima Community Gardens 2025 Season Application

Thank you for your interest in joining us at a Lima Community Garden this season! We have 2 great community gardens with a large number of beds available to community residents. One garden is located on South Jackson Street near the Riverwalk (run by Activate Allen County) and one on Spring/Collett Street (run by LACNIP).

There are a couple items to note as you fill out your application this year:

- There is no fee associated the South Jackson community garden. A $20 fee will be collected at Spring Street.

- We will try to honor any plot location requests, however priority will be given to those who gardened last season and wish to keep their same bed location.

- Once you complete an application, you will be notified of acceptance and provided additional details about next steps within 3-5 business days of submission.

Have questions or need more information? Please email Kayla Monfort at kmonfort@activateallencounty.com.

We look forward to gardening with you this season!!
