Jeffers Road Community Gardens Rental Plots
Eau Claire County is again offering garden plots for rent at the Community Garden Site located on Jeffers Road, just off the North Crossing. This is the same location as in previous years. Garden plots measure 20’x45’ and will cost $35 per plot. We will continue renting a porta-potty, mow car lanes and offer a hold fee for the following year.
If you are interested in obtaining a garden plot(s), fill the registration form and return it with a check or money order made payable to Eau Claire County Extension. You can submit one check for multiple plots. Requests for garden plots will not be taken over the phone. Only requests with full payment will be accepted – we will not hold any plots while waiting for payment. Plots will be assigned on a first-come basis. If your preferred choices are not available we will try to contact you at the daytime number you have listed on the garden rental form. If we are unable to contact you, our office will randomly assign you a garden plot.
Please call me if you have any questions or concerns regarding the Community Gardens or any gardening questions in general. The Extension Office hours are Monday through Friday 8:00 AM – 5:00 PM. I look forward to working with you again this summer.
