The Tivoli Community Garden is a  volunteer-run organic garden located in the Tivoli Rec Park (aka Tivoli Memorial Park), started in 2011 by Tivoli’s then-newly formed Green Committee.

The garden provides residents of Tivoli who otherwise cannot have a garden where they live the opportunity to develop their green thumbs, grow vegetables and flowers, and share organic gardening tips and tricks.

The garden has 20 8’x12′ plots: 18 individual plots, one community herb garden/visitor’s pick-your-own, and a plot where our communal table and garden implements are kept. Plots are assigned on a lottery basis if the interest exceeds the number of plots available, however we often encourage plot-sharing among friends and neighbors as a nice way of accommodating everyone who wants to participate, and of getting more people into the garden!

The deadline for signing up for a plot for the 2015 season is February 1st, 2015.

There is a $30 plot fee for the season, which goes toward garden maintenance and improvements, and toward supporting other green initiatives of the Village government.

If you’re interested in learning more about the garden or would like to sign up for a plot, please write to tivolicommunitygarden@gmail.com.
