The Community Garden is located next to the Reminderville Police Station at 3602 Glenwood Blvd. There are 52 10′ x 10′ plots. Each plot is $10 for the season.
The Service Department will be tilling the land but gardeners may need to make their plot ready for planting. Projected timeline for planting is weather dependent. We will contact you when you can start your plots. There were many plots that were not taken care of last year and weeds were out of control. If you are not committed to properly maintaining a plot, please do not get one.
Please contact Stacey Task at City Hall with questions at 330-562-1234 or stask@reminderville.com
