Garden Plot Rentals at Woottons Mill Park

A community garden with multiple fenced plots, rows of plants, and gardening supplies, bordered by tall trees in the background.

Community gardening is an important part of our lives. It allows us to commune with nature and produce food for our families and friends. 

The City of Rockville is home to extensive parks and open spaces, including 179 garden plots at Woottons Mill Park. The plots provide an opportunity for gardeners to grow their own food and other plants. Each plot is approximately 200 or 400 square feet, depending on its location.

2026 Program Details

Program participants may access their garden plots starting at sunrise on Wednesday, April 1, 2026, and must completely clean and clear their plots by sunset on Sunday, Nov. 15, 2026. Program run dates are approximate and based on weather.
