The Morganton Parks and Recreation Department provides plots of land for residents to grow vegetables. Plots are available on a first-come, first-serve basis. The garden is located in Catawba Meadows Park and is open during growing season.
Gardeners must pay a $30.00 fee to use each plot. The fee covers some operations costs including water, straw, equipment, etc. Plots may be shared, which can be very helpful, because gardening is a lot of work including soil preparation, planting, sowing, tilling, weeding and harvesting. Only 2 plots per house hold.
