The Township Community Garden Program began in 2011 as a way to provide garden plot opportunities for Township residents. The Board of Trustees subsequently re-authorized the Program in 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022 and 2023. As part of the Program, the Township prepares the land, accepts and reviews applications, and assigns plots via a random plot lottery (PLOT-tery), with a 2023 limit of up to one plot per Township household. For 2023 up to 39 plots, ranging from 10F X 10F to 20F X 20F in size, will be available at the Community Garden, located on Township-owned land on the north side of Twinsburg Road, east of Oak Meadow Drive and west of Estate Avenue. A second garden has been established as the Twinsburg Heights Community Park, located at the east side of Rugby, south side of Eton, west side of Hadden, and the North side of Buchtel. This new garden has 22 plots ranging from 10F x 10F to 20F x 20F in size.
The only program requirement is Township residency, or employment at a business or institution located in Twinsburg Township, and a non-refundable fee of $10.00 will be due only if an eligible applicant is assigned and accepts a plot and agrees to abide by Township Community Garden Policies and Procedures. Applications will be received on a rolling basis, with the PLOT-tery to occur on Wednesday, May 3, 2023.
