Garden Plot registration begins on-line Monday, March 3, 2025 at 9AM. Garden season is mid-May through mid-October. You must have an account to register.
How To Register
Residents:
Returning gardeners and/or current park district program users will use your same login to register for a plot. If you are a new resident or have never registered for a park district program, you will need to bring proof of residency documents to one of the community centers to establish an account: ARC, Camelot, Pioneer or Administration Center
Non-Residents:
Can also rent a garden plot but need to have an account established. Call 847.577.3000 and our Guest Services Staff will create one for you over the phone.
On March 3:
1. Choose a location – Frontier or Forest View (see descriptions below)
2. Click on View plot chart and select an open/green plot
3. By clicking a plot, you will be entering the registration portal.
Enthusiastic gardeners may rent a garden plot from the Park District. Plots are plowed, staked, and numbered, and they open for cultivation in mid May and close in mid-October. Ample water pumps available- you bring your hose. Communication for opening day will be emailed to all garden plot renters in April, 2025.
IMPORTANT: What you bring into your plot, you take home at end of season. This includes tomato cages, wood/plastic/metal fencing, plastic weed barrier, tools, string, hoses, etc. You must leave your plot in the same condition as you found it with the exception of unneeded vegetation. Vines, vegetables, flowers are ok to leave on the ground but not the trellis, strings, metal/wood/plastic posts, etc. These are not biodegradable. The garden plots will be tilled in fall and any leftover vegetation helps to nourish the soil for spring.
