Garden Plots

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 has extensive parks and open spaces, including 176 garden plots at Woottons Mill Park. Each garden plot is approximately 25-by-25 feet and provides an opportunity for local residents to grow their own food and other plants. Woottons Mill Park features 106.5 acres of land, tennis and basketball courts, forest preserve and nature trail, foot bridge, playground, picnic tables, and grills.

$75 per plot for the 2023 season (Rockville Residents)
$85 per plot for the 2023 season (Non-Rockville Residents)
