Community Garden

When we help something grow, we grow ourselves. The AMES Community Garden offers people in the Capital Region a place to grow and express themselves through gardening.

Our goal is to grow the love of gardening through:

• Preparing a place in our community where people of all ages can put down roots
• Spreading the opportunity for people in our community to have a place to garden
• Tending to the need for gardening education in our community
• Harvesting a bounty of fresh, nutritious foods for individuals, families and organizations in the area

For more information about the AMES Community Garden, see our brochure. To reserve a plot in the garden, please fill out and return this registration form. If plots become fully booked, your name will be added to a waiting list.
