Grow your own produce in an approximately 20'x20' Elmhurst garden plot located in Marjorie Davis Park. Plots are plowed, rototilled and staked by the Elmhurst Park District, so you can plant, cultivate, and reap the harvest. Growing season runs from May 1 to November 1, weather permitting. Six water taps are available at each site and are open 9 a.m.-9 p.m. seven days per week. A maximum of one garden plot per family is allowed.

Returning customers, those who had plots in the previous summer, have the option of keeping the same plot or entering the lottery for a new plot. Registration for Spring 2019 Garden Plots will open Saturday, March 2 at 8 a.m. for residents. At that time, you can register here. Call (630) 993-4729 or email slagesse [at] epd.org for questions or more information.

Garden Plot History

The Elmhurst Park District has worked cooperatively with the City of Elmhurst to assist with storm water management.  As part of the cooperative effort, the west portion of Golden Meadows Park was sold to the City for use as storm water detention.  This portion of Golden Meadows included the garden plots.
