The City of Redmond’s Parks & Recreation Department is preparing for another active community gardening season in 2026, offering residents the opportunity to grow fresh food, connect with neighbors, and take part in one of the city’s most popular outdoor games.
Community garden plots are available at Anderson Park and Juel Park, two established garden sites that serve residents across Redmond.
The community garden program is designed for individuals and families who enjoy gardening but may not have access to suitable space at home.
By renting a plot, participants gain a dedicated area to grow fruits, vegetables, herbs, and flowers while becoming part of a shared neighborhood environment focused on wellness and community engagement.
According to Parks & Recreation information, demand for plots remains high each year.
Many garden spaces for the 2026 season have already filled, with several listings showing full capacity.
Both Anderson Park and Juel Park gardens feature individual plots, with seasonal registration tied to the April 1, 2026, start date for most garden spaces.
Fees range from $70 to $84 per plot, depending on the specific garden location and plot type, with discounts for eligible participants.
At Juel Park Community Garden, accessible raised-bed options are available, supporting inclusive access for gardeners with mobility needs.
Both garden locations also maintain official waitlists, allowing residents to register for openings if plots become available later in the season.
The Parks & Recreation Department emphasizes that early registration is strongly encouraged due to the popularity of the program.
Residents interested in participating are advised to monitor availability and register as soon as possible to secure a space.
Registration and plot availability information is accessible through the City of Redmond Parks & Recreation online system, where residents can view current openings, waitlists, pricing, and seasonal details for both Anderson Park and Juel Park community gardens.
