Here’s how to apply for a Natick Community Garden plot

March 4, 2026 by Deborah Brown

Natick is home to four vibrant community gardens, where residents transform overlooked green spaces into thriving hubs of local connection and edible abundance. These gardens are more than just plots of dirt; they are welcoming sanctuaries where growers come together to nurture the land and forge bonds.

Trade your screen time for green time, and participate in this enriching program. The annual cost for a plot is $75. Plots are available to Natick residents only.

March 16: applications for returning gardeners open

April 13: new gardeners can apply

Lane Community Garden
Lane Community Garden, 185 Speen St.

DIGITAL APPLICATIONS: online via CommunityPass through Natick Recreation and Parks

PAPER APPLICATIONS: available at Natick Recreation & Parks Dept., 179 Boden Lane

For additional information, email communitygardens@natickma.org
