SPECIAL PROGRAMS
Garden Plots are available at our Sandwich Park District Community Garden.
Family The plots are 10 x 50 (1 row) and limited to two (2) per household. We ask
you to plant more and donate whatever you can to the local food pantries. We
COMMUNITY have a list of those locations and times, or just drop off your produce and we
will deliver it to those locations. The entire garden is available for residents,
GARDEN PLOT non-residents, non-profits, and businesses to rent. The park district will re-
serve some smaller plots for local food pantries and churches if needed. By
mid October you will be required to clean your area. (Compost bin is avail-
able).
Cost: $25.00 per plot for Residents, Non-residents, Non-profit organiza-
tions, and businesses. Deposit Required: A $25.00 refundable deposit will
be held until your plot is cleaned and inspected.
Person(s) renting a plot must be 18 or older and have a valid driver’s li-
cense. Special registration forms must be completed at the park district.
Part of your obligation is to weed and clean your area during the season
and at the end. If you do not fulfill your obligation to clean your plot you
may jeopardize your opportunity to rent next year and will forfeit the $25
deposit. The Local Food Pantries are: St. John’s Lutheran (Somonauk) Food
Pantry, Cornerstone Food Pantry, Harvest Chapel Food Pantry.
