Members

Registration for the 2026 gardening season is open! Plots are offered to returning members in good standing first. If memberships aren’t renewed and paid for by November 30, we offer the plot to people on the waiting list. All memberships include access to compost, water, mulch, cover crops, tools and the food forest.

Membership types

Plot memberships aren’t the only way to be involved in the Garden. Sign up as a General Member and help steward our Edible Forest Garden (Apples, Pears, Plums, Persimmons, Pawpaws, Asian Pears, Peaches), nut trees (Walnut, Shagbark & Shellbark Hickories, Hazelnuts, Oaks) and berry bushes (Raspberries, Blackberries, Strawberries, Saskatoons, Haskaps, Sour Cherries, Currants, Gooseberries).

  • Plot member: 10×10′ plots, $30 per plot
  • Accessible plot member: raised bed, $20
  • General member: $10 or by donation (donations help support the purchase of fruit and nut trees, construction of shade structures & benches, and other garden activities*)

Fees may be waived due to financial hardship. If you have any questions or want to request a special fee consideration, email lakesidegarden70@gmail.com.
