**The gardens are OPEN for the season**
Since 2001, Rock County UW-Extension has facilitated a community garden rental program at the Rock County Farm, Janesville. Starting in 2022, Rock County Land Conservation Department began running the community gardens. Over 120 plots are available across the 3.5+ acres. Initial tilling and water are included in the annual rental fee.
2023 Renewal: Renters from the 2023 season will receive forms in early January (for securing their 2024 plot). Renewal forms are due by February 23rd, 2023. Plots are $35, or two for $60.
Perennial Plots: Beginning in 2015, year-round perennial plots were made available for a limited number of gardeners. There are no perennial plots available at this time for the 2024 gardening season.
New Renters: All un-rented plots will become available on a first‐come basis starting on March 4th, 2024. Payment is due with completed application. Contact the Land Conservation Department at 608-754-6617 ext 3 or email ashley.roscoe@co.rock.wi.us to check on availability.
The garden is open early May (weather permitting) through October 31. Refunds will not be given after May 1st, 2024. Garden plots are approximately 20’x25’. A list of garden rules may be found here.
