Besides an enthusiasm for gardening and a desire to be part of a gardening community, prospective gardeners must be committed to the upkeep of their plots and fulfill a two-hour community work requirement during the growing season. Gardeners lacking experience are given instruction and advice throughout the season. The season generally begins in early April and extends to mid-October, although gardeners may use their plots all year round.

Greenhouse Rental Program
This option gives area residents winter gardening opportunities from October to June. The four-wing greenhouse complex has undergone major renovations
 in the past 20 years.
Since 1998 two wings with 200 rental spaces have served the Community Greenhouse program. The humidified south wing is ideal for growing orchids under glass, while the dry east wing is used for plants that are not winter hardy.

Space is leased to members of the Edgerton Park Conservancy only. A first space costs $85 per year; each additional space is $75. The greenhouses are at 75 Cliff Street, New Haven, just off Whitney Avenue.
For details, or to inquire about available space, contact Sean Duffy at [email protected].
