Sign up now open for Heritage Community Garden plots
The City of Georgetown Parks and Recreation Department is now accepting reservations for plots at the Heritage Community Garden, 2100 Hutto Road.
The renovated community garden features 25 in-ground garden beds, 48 raised beds, and eight ADA accessible beds, which will open March 1, 2022, for gardeners to begin planting flowers, vegetables, and fruits.
Plots are on a first-come, first-served basis, and plots will be assigned by City staff. Leases run from March 1 through Dec. 31, 2022, and may be renewed annually. Fees are paid annually and are not prorated.
| Size | Resident | Nonresident |
| 20 foot x 20 foot in-ground | $50 | $75 |
| 7 foot by 16 foot raised bed | $40 | $50 |
| 7 foot by 16 foot accessible raised bed | $40 | $50 |
The garden will be open daily for gardeners from 5 a.m.-10 p.m. The garden area is secured with a chain-link fence.
Other renovations to the community garden include a new restroom facility, concrete sidewalks, a lighted parking lot, and a dumpster with a designated area for green waste that will be recycled offsite. The total project cost was $275,000.
The City is also partnering with the Williamson County Beekeepers Association, and hives will be constructed onsite in a separate area.
A grand opening celebration for the garden is expected to be held in March. More details will be announced when they are available.
