Community Garden
The Vernon Hills Park District manages two community gardens - one at Century Park and one at Hartmann Park. There are a total of 24 plots available to the public.
Due to the popularity of the community garden program, we will be using a lottery reservation system to award all plot rentals.
The 2013 Community Garden registration lottery has ended. All of the available plots have been awarded via the lottery system. Please try again in 2014.
Open registration for any remaining plots begins on April 8.
In order to participate in the Community Garden lottery, please read the instructions below:
1). Make sure your proof of residency information is up to date (must be renewed annually).
Click HERE for information about our proof-of-residency requirements.
2). Download and complete the garden plot registration form.
3). Bring completed form along with payment to the Sullivan Community Center, 635 Aspen Dr.
4). All lottery registration forms must be received by 5:00pm on Saturday, March 30.
5). Lottery winners will be notified the week of April 1, 2013.
6). Residents who are not selected in the lottery will receive a full refund.
The District will be leasing plots ($35 per season) to residents. Payment must be received at the time of
registration in order to be entered in the lottery.
Park District staff will till the garden following the last frost (usually
early May). Gardeners will be notified once the ground had been prepared for planting.
