When I read your post, I felt badly for you that you must pay for a garden
plot. We don't have much along that line in our particular community, but
when we do have community gardens available (in publicly owned space), we
simply apply for them. Basically, first come, first serve with last
year's gardeners getting first spaces available. They are relatively
small in size, but the City provides the tilling and the water. Neglected
spaces are not re-issued to the same people the following year. From
reading other posts in response to yours, it appears we are among the more
fortunate.

Where do you live, Glenna? I want to move there. :-) Your arrangement
sounds like what I had at NASA -- tilling and water provided --
'though there *was* a $9/yr fee. There were/are 36 20'x40' plots and
the diversity of gardens, styles, and people was fascinating. I
learned a great deal.
