Membership to the Sisters Community Garden is open to all residents of Sisters Country. Applications become available at the beginning of February. New and continuing gardeners must complete an application and a release of liability form, and review the garden's guidelines and rules. Fees for garden plots are based on the size of the plot chosen. Fees cover water usage through the season, soil, aged manure and use of the greenhouse. Join us and share in the joy of gardening!

 

Welcome to the 2025 gardening season

​

February 1st is the start of a new season for the Sisters Community Garden. We hope you will be joining us this year!

 

​For more than ten wonderful years, Sisters Community Garden has been a jewel nestled on the edge of town. It has been a resource, even a respite, for those who love to garden and others who enjoy visiting the garden to see what is growing. As you may have heard, SCG will be moving to a new location when the SCG Board is able to secure one. We will keep you informed about this process, but for 2025 we are grateful to continue at the Sisters Eagle Air Airport location.

​

For our garden to prosper, members commit to mutually caring for and maintaining the entire premises. Not only does each gardener harvest their carrots and peas, but they look after the berm, the compost piles, and the paths.

​

Each gardener is expected to participate in two work parties that focus on the communal areas—beds, borders, paths and improvement projects. If members are unable to attend the work parties, it is expected that they contact the Garden Manager to make alternate arrangements to fulfill their quota of community garden hours—a total of eight hours each year.

​

Gardeners are expected to maintain their plot with personal supplies and tools. For all gardeners, compost, soil, bark chips and aged manure are available to use at the garden only. Ground cloths, covers, seeds and special amendments are the responsibility of individual gardeners. If plots are neglected, gardeners will be notified.

​

Members are expected to contact the Garden Manager if they need to alter the existing structure of their plot. In addition, if gardeners need help maintaining their plot because of vacations, illness or other reasons, the Garden Manager is the one to call.

​

Our goal is to have a vibrant growing season each year, one that brings enjoyment to every gardener and a sense of pride in belonging to the Sisters Community Garden. Please respect your garden neighbors, and share your successes, tips and any plans for your plot that may affect your neighbor’s plot. Look to the whole garden each time you visit. Our motto has always been “see a weed, pull a weed”. It still holds true.
