2019 Registration Dates: March 30 and 31

The Barrington Community Garden will hold onsite registration for 5’ x 20’ plots on Saturday, March 30, from 3:00 to 5:00 pm and on Sunday, March 31, from 10:00 am to noon. Plots are available for $25 and are available to Barrington residents only.

Download the registration packet.  

Payment must be made by check. The check should be imprinted with a Barrington address or, alternatively, the application should be accompanied by a copy of a valid RI driver’s license showing the lessee’s Barrington address.

NOTE TO THOSE WHO LEASED IN 2018
Returning lessees are able to register to lease a plot about two weeks before registration opens to all Barrington residents (starting March 17). This is so you may reserve the same plot you had last year or switch to a new plot, as available.

Your registration pack must be received by March 27 in order to guarantee the same plot as last year.

​We take great pride in caring for our dedicated garden plots where we grow organic food that we distribute to those in need.
