Community Garden
Thanks to a generous gift from the Class of 2016 and additional support from the Residence Hall Association, CNU students and community members have the opportunity to rent a garden plot right here on campus. Our garden is located on East Campus behind Washington Apartment Building. The space was created as a means to develop our campus community around producing your own food and to provide a pathway to get in touch with our natural world through gardening.
Application Process
The application process is now contact-free. Please submit all materials digitally.
Plots in the Community Garden are 4' by 4' in size and available for rent on a first-come, first-served basis. The garden is open from sunup to sundown, except between December 1 - March 1.
Applications are open on a rolling basis through the Google form linked below. If all plots are filled and we are not taking applications, this form will not be accessible. You may request a paper form by contacting us.
In order to be offered a plot, all main gardeners must:
- Read the Garden Handbook & Growers Guide.
- Fill out and sign the Application Forms.
- Submit all paperwork using the Plot Rental Application.
Once your paperwork is complete you will be provided a plot number.
If you have more than three gardeners who will be using the plot, identify one primary gardener to submit the application and up to 2 additional “main gardeners” to be connected to the plot. These gardeners will need to complete paperwork in order to submit an application and will be responsible for garden maintenance. Any other gardeners using the plot must read the Garden Handbook, Plot Agreement and Assumption of Risk and sign the Group Signature Form before they are allowed to garden.
