Community Garden

We are proud to announce the unveiling of the first community garden initiative within JCPRD! Thanks to a generous donation from the Verhaeghe family, the Arthur & Betty Verhaeghe Park Community Gardens will open to the public through a lottery system in spring 2022. Longtime residents and farmers of Johnson County, the Verhaeghes are excited to pass on the pride associated with their nearly 100-year tradition of growing one’s own vegetables. In the first year there will be four garden plots available, and interested individuals living within a 10-mile radius of the park may apply online. 

• Apply for a plot  - Link will be live beginning March 1. Application deadline is March 10.
