The application for the 2026 garden season is now available. We currently have a few plots available for the upcoming season. If we receive more applications than we have plots, we will use a lottery system to select the new gardeners.

 

Applications must be received on or before January 16, 2026. Please make checks payable to “Township of Berkeley Heights” and in the memo section write: “BH Community Garden.”

 

All applicants will be notified by February 1, 2026.  Checks will only be cashed from applicants awarded a plot.  Checks not cashed will be destroyed (or returned to applicant, should they have requested so in advance).​
