Rent a plot in the Community Garden at Northwest Park. Raise your own produce in a 36 square-foot plot that’s been harrowed and staked out at the start of the growing season. There’s a nearby water source but gardeners need to bring their own hose and tools. $60 (Windsor residents), $75 (Nonresidents). Plus a $50 refundable security deposit. 

Plots are currently available, call 860-285-1886 to register for the season.
