**The gardens are CLOSED for the season** 

  Since 2001, Rock County UW-Extension has facilitated a community garden rental program at the Rock County Farm, Janesville. Starting in 2022, Rock County Land Conservation Department began running the community gardens. Over 120 plots are available across the 3.5+ acres. Initial tilling and water are included in the annual rental fee. Garden locations via google maps.

2026 Renewal: Renters from the 2025 season will receive forms in mid-January (for securing their 2026 plot). Renewal forms are due by Friday, February 20th, 2026. Annual plots are $35, or two for $60. Perennial plots are $45, or two for $80. 

Perennial Plots: Beginning in 2015, year-round perennial plots were made available for a limited number of gardeners. We will be opening a new section of perennial plots for 2026 season. Please contact Ashley Roscoe (ashley.roscoe@co.rock.wi.us) to be placed on the waiting list.
