Sign up starting Wednesday, March 12 for Kent’s downtown Community Garden P-patch season that runs April 1 through Oct. 26 on the corner of James Street and 64th Avenue South.

Gardeners may rent a 20 feet by 20 feet plot for the season for $45 plus a refundable $25 deposit. There are 44 plots available, assigned on a first-come, first-served basis once the rental fee has been paid.

Returning gardeners are allowed a maximum of two plots per household. Their preregistration period began Feb. 27, and ends Tuesday, March 11.

New gardener registration begins Wednesday, March 12. Register by calling the Kent Commons at 253-856-5000, or stop by in person at 525 4th Avenue N.

The downtown community garden P-patch has been offering organic community gardening since 1997. The program is a collaborative effort between the city of Kent and The Bishop’s Storehouse, an extension of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, which owns the property.

For more information, call 253-856-5110.
