We admire the dedication of our existing community gardeners. The city is committed to supporting you through our new community gardens program.
Beginning with new gardens in 2018, we are piloting an insurance program that provides $2 million in liability coverage for both the gardens and individual gardeners. With insurance, residents are empowered to take the lead on garden projects and ongoing maintenance.
In 2019, we will roll out this insurance program to all community gardens on city-owned land.
