Your first visit
Feeling unsure the first time is normal. Most groups are glad when someone new walks in.
First step: Join the waitlist through the Google form on the membership page, since the garden is full for 2026, or email oldtenniscourtfarm@yahoo.com with questions..
You need to sign up first.
What to expect
Members get a plot of about 12 by 12 feet (some are half that size) and volunteer about 8 hours a season on shared work such as weeding, mowing, compost, trash pickup, snow removal, and website work. The page welcomes gardeners of every experience level and children of all ages. It does not state a membership fee, workday dates, or open days.
Tips for your first visit
- The page lists no open days, so email before you plan a visit.
- Join the waitlist even though the garden is full for 2026, since that is the only listed way in.
- If you join, plan on about 8 hours of shared work each season.
Newcomer welcome
Takes some effort for newcomers (2 out of 5). Why we say this: Membership is closed for the 2026 season; the only listed way in is a waitlist form, and the page gives no wait time or open dates..
