About the event
The City of Alpharetta’s new Farm at Old Rucker Park welcomes you to participate in the community garden, part of our Community Recreational Agriculture Program. In the following pages you will find the City’s Community Recreational Agriculture Program membership information, structure, rules and practices.
The City of Alpharetta’s Community Recreational Agriculture Program operates within the Community Services Division of the Recreation, Parks & Cultural Services Department. The City is happy to provide this program and service to the community. The vision for this program is to model and inspire the stewardship of natural resources through the use of sustainable practices, while connecting the community through growing food and nature-based education.
The Community Recreational Agriculture Program was developed in 2018 with collaboration and guidance from numerous residents and community organizations. The program will evolve overtime, striving to best serve and meet the needs of the entire community. This is merely the beginning of the Community Recreational Agriculture Program, and the City of Alpharetta will continue to develop partnerships and programs to enhance this offering.
Community Garden Membership Information
There are four types of memberships available for the 2019 growing season, depending on your growing needs – there is a membership that fits you. All members will receive seed and plant distributions in the early spring and mid-summer, have access to classes and workshops, and be included in the many related events that take place throughout the year.
The membership fees go toward the costs of the program and are not tax deductible.
