Community Gardens

Santa Fe has eight community gardens and more opening this year in Tierra Contenta. A community garden is a space where plots of land are leased to families or individuals with access during garden season or year round. There are many other types of gardens in homes, schools and organizations that may not appear on this list. Community Garden plots may still be available if you are interested in joining the gardens in your neighborhood.  They are typically $15-$30 for the year and are 5′x10 to 10′x16′ depending on the garden location. Many have events and classes at the gardens. Here is contact information for the gardens.
