Thank you for being a part of Community Gardens of Tucson! We have a new membership portal! 

Application and Payment of Fees 

• The standard plot fee is $22/month. CGT’s plot fee rates will be reassessed every 12 months to ensure that they cover the cost of water and CGT operations. We try our best to keep the cost of plot fees as low as possible in order to promote full access to CGT’s gardens.
• Prorated payments are available for gardeners who enroll between the six-month enrollment periods.
• Renewal payments are made bi-annually in conjunction with CGT’s planting seasons of October 1 and April 1. 
• Plot fee assistance and scholarships are available. For more information and to fill out an application, click HERE. 
• Plot fee payments are non-refundable and not tax deductible.
• Please inquire with admin@communitygardensoftucson.org for more information or if you are having trouble paying your plot fee. If you do not have access to email, please contact 520-795-8823 or your local library for assistance

Provided at CGT Gardens

• Access to the garden and all communal areas.
• Compost, mulch, and seeds (when available).

General Plot Information: 

• Plots are assigned by the Site Coordinators on a first-come, first-served basis. In the event that all garden plots are occupied, you will be placed on a waiting list maintained by the CGT and the Site Coordinator.
• Garden assignments are the responsibility of the Site Coordinator or Garden Operations Manager, based on CGT’s policy of equity, fairness, and inclusiveness.
• Gardeners may not sublease their garden plot without prior approval by CGT.
• Gardeners may not release or assign a plot to another person without prior approval of the Site Coordinator or Garden Operations Manager.
• Groups and organizations may lease group plots, but MUST assign an individual as the primary plot owner to act as the primary contact, facilitate payments, and require all participating gardeners to sign the Guidelines and Policies Agreement Form.
• Renewal is automatic, provided gardeners pay their dues on time. Plots will remain available as long as gardeners are in good standing, or until they notify CGT by email or in writing that they elect to terminate their enrollment.
• A gardener may lease a maximum of two plots in a single community garden and a maximum of six plots in all of CGT’s community gardens.
