"The 29th Street Garden is the first community garden to be constructed in Anacortes and opened in spring of 2009. We hope to have more community gardens sprouting up in the future. This garden is part of the Anacortes Parks & Recreation program and the public is welcome to visit the garden and meet our gardeners – please respect our garden’s plots, plants, and garden fixtures. We’re often visited by individuals walking their dogs or just interested in see what’s growing throughout the year. Pets are not allowed in the garden, but our four-legged friends are welcome to enjoy looking at the garden from outside the fence and can often find a bowl of water waiting for them.

The 29th Street Garden has:

Twelve 10' x 24' plots which can be rented as a full or a half plot.
Two Food Bank plots that provide fresh produce to local food banks.
Five raised bed designed to meet ADA guidelines
Six small children’s gardens to encourage young gardeners to cultivate an interest in growing fresh vegetables, fruits and flowers.
A composting area and worm bin for making your own soil amendments

A Garden Committee made up of volunteers from the garden who ensure things run smoothly and to help gardeners with their questions or problems
Mentors who can help new gardeners learn how to grow and have fun
