Become a Gardener

Due to high demand, Rose Tree Garden is no longer accepting garden plot applications for the 2024 growing season.  We are sorry for any inconvenience.

Thank you for your interest in becoming a part of Rose Tree Garden.  We are a large community with over 100 plots available to the residents of Delaware County. 

Leases run from early April to early November and cost $30 per season.  Plots are 20 x 25 feet and are available on a first come, first serve basis.  You must be a resident of Delaware County.  If you’re not a resident, check with your county’s parks department for a list local community gardens, or Contact Us for help finding one near you.

If a plot becomes available, a letter will be sent to you in early spring with payment and gardening information.  Visit the New Gardener page for tips on how to set up your plot and information on what to expect.

Requests are automatically passed along to the Delaware County Parks Department.
