Individual Plots
Individual plots are available for individuals and groups on a first-come, first-served basis. Plots
will vary in size depending on the amount of interest and space. Those who wish to be
responsible for an individual plot, aka the “Primary Gardener”, must agree to the Garden
Membership Agreement and the Plot Usage Agreement, both of which are included at the end of
this form. The fee is $25 per individual plot, paid by the “Primary Gardener.” There is no fee for
additional “Garden Members” who may help on that plot. Payment can be made by cash, check,
or card at the Crawford County Commission on Aging Senior Center, located at 4388 West M-72
Hwy, in Grayling. Please do not bring payments to the garden. To inquire about a fee waiver or with any other questions,
please get in touch with the leadership at graylinggarden@gmail.com.
Community Plots
Community plots are used to grow food to share with the community. Food will be distributed to
local nonprofit organizations to help feed individuals and families in Crawford County.
Volunteers who wish to help maintain community plots or contribute to the garden mission in
general must agree to the Garden Membership Agreement. There is no fee to participate as a
Garden Volunteer.
Highlights
