Batavia Community Garden Applications
Would you love to grow nutritious, great tasting vegetables but don’t have space for a garden? The Batavia Community Garden can help! Come join our Batavia Community Garden in 2027 and enjoy the benefits of growing and eating your own fresh produce.
Garden plots are offered in three sizes that are 1 foot deep: 4’ x 4’ ($20), 3’ x 8’ ($30) and 4’ x 8’ ($40). We have several 2’ x 8’ ($25) adaptive plots for gardeners with limited range of motion which are 3 feet tall. All plots are available on a first-come, first-served basis. Plot rentals are available to anyone living in Genesee County. Cornell Cooperative Extension of Genesee County manages the garden which is located next to 12 MacArthur Drive. The garden generally opens for planting in mid-May and closes in mid-October.
New gardeners (with little or no gardening experience) can rent one 4’ x 4’ plot. Gardeners with gardening experience can rent up to two 4’ x 4’ plots or one 4’ x 8’ plot, or one 3’ x 8’ plot. The adaptive beds are limited to one bed per gardener if available. Potential gardeners should review the Batavia Community Garden Rules and Information on the CCE gardening website prior to applying.
Plot fees include access to a raised bed filled with a growing soil mix, access to water source with hose, watering wand, and watering cans; use of provided hand tools; use of compost bin and other resources at the garden.
Plot requests are filled according to the order in which applications are received. A check or money order must be included with the application. Payments of cash can be made at the CCE Genesee office during business hours at 420 E Main St, Batavia, NY 14020. All fees are non-refundable.
