West Springfield Park & Recreation

The Park & Recreation Department, along with Department of Public Works, is excited to offer recently renovated 16’x 20’ mini Garden Plots located in Mittineague Park.  The D.P.W. will prepare plots for planting, identified plot boundaries by number posts and access to water provided to gardeners.

Open registration will begin on Wednesday, April 13, 2016, on a first come first serve basis.

The D.P.W. will assume the responsibility for the initial tilling of the plots, therefore gardeners CANNOT BEGIN planting until April 25, 2016.

1.  Person registered must work the plot.  Those who failed to maintain their plot for the entire season last year will not be considered this year.

 

2.  Only one plot per person or family unit.

         

3.  No group registration will be accepted.

 

4.  Plots not planted by June 6, 2016, will be reassigned by the Park & Recreation Department on a first come, first serve basis.
