Morganton and Burke County Gardeners are encouraged to apply for a garden space/plot in the City of Morganton Parks and Recreation Department Community Garden located at 701 Sanford Dr. at Catawba Meadows Park. 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.
Make checks payable to: City of Morganton
Plot rental dates: March 1, 2024 through November 30, 2024 (Make sure to remove all personal materials out of your plot)
