Spokane Community Gardens- advocates for gardens in the Inland Northwest.

We invite you to explore this site to learn more about Spokane Community Gardens, the organization, and what we can do to better connect you with gardens, resources, and our local food community here in the Inland Northwest.

Spokane Community Gardens supports School, Youth Program, Community, and Service Gardens. Each garden is individually owned and managed. Please contact the garden contact, representative, or manager for more information about a garden or (for community gardens open to public) to reserve a garden plot.

Community gardens are open to the public and can either offer individual plots or be gardened in common/communally. Examples include Arboretum Community Garden in Liberty Lake, the Fresh Start Community Garden in Spokane Valley, Chief Garry Community Garden, or Eden Community Garden. Community gardens, while open to the public, may be restricted to a particular neighborhood. Garden plot rental fees will vary.

COVID-19 Precautions for Community Gardeners

We all have an important role to play in preventing the spread of COVID-19. Please follow the below recommendations from our public health partners:

•  Stay home while you are sick, or if someone in your home is sick and avoid close contact with others.
• Use advised 6’ separation rule.
• Wash hands often with soap and water. If not available, use hand sanitizer.
• Wash all items harvested from the garden
• Avoid touching your eyes, nose, or mouth.
• Avoid contact with people who are sick.
• Do not share food or beverages.
• Cover your mouth/nose with a tissue when coughing or sneezing.
• Be mindful of frequently touched spots such as locks and gates, water spigots, hoses, latches and knobs on sheds, and shared tools.
• Use your own gloves.
• Use your own tools and water keys.
• Sanitize common tools: Diluted household bleach solutions (replaced daily), alcohol solutions with at least 70% alcohol, and most common EPA-registered household disinfectants should be effective. Never mix household bleach with ammonia or any other cleanser. Lightly spray tools after use. Porous and pitted surfaces, such as wood, will not be sanitized. To sanitize the handles of the tools, soaking them is most effective. We will want to do a good soaking later, when normalcy begins to return. Use gloves as your best protection. https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/prepare/cleaning-disinfection....
