Skinner Park
Surrounded by a large teaching and demonstration garden, The Community Roots Demonstration Garden at Skinner Park hosts 9 allotment plots where gardeners may grow organic herbs and vegetables for home use. Plot holders are expected to help with maintenance projects throughout the garden as needed, as well as the care of their individual plot. Registration for this activity serves as your application for a plot at the garden. You will be contacted after the application deadline to inform you as to whether you will receive a plot. If assigned a plot in the Skinner Park Garden, you will be required to submit a liability waiver and $25 plot fee before you begin gardening. Please contact communitygardens@chicagoparkdistrict.com with questions or for more information.
