Gardening season is just around the corner

If you're interested in gardening at Wagner Farm's community garden, keep your eye out for the Glenview Park District Spring brochure, which will be mailed to residents around February 20th. Information about registering for the community garden lottery will be on Wagner Farm's pages. You can also check out the info online here after February 20th.


  • The community garden is a Park District program filled by a lottery each year. Newcomers always welcome -- there is no seniority from year to year.
  • Last year, the plots were 9x23' and cost $65 for the season (May through October).
  • Resident lottery registration begins in mid- to late February and ends on March 2. 
  • Non-resident registration begins 9am on March 3. 
  • Some benefits to gardening at Wagner Farm include an overhead irrigation system run by a garden coordinator, classes, a garden blog, and a community of 100+ gardeners sharing an acre of land.

If you have any questions, please email me at jennifer.roberts@glenviewparks.org or call at 847-414-1412.


Looking forward to a great 2014!
