The City of Shoreline is pleased to offer two organic community gardens to the Shoreline community. Standard 10' x 10' plots and accessible 4' x 10' plots are rented to Shoreline residents on an annual basis. 

Twin Ponds Community Garden

Currently all garden plots are full at Twin Ponds Community Garden.  If you would like to rent a garden plot when one becomes available, you can register for one or more of our community garden waitlists at www.shorelinewa.gov/registernow

There is no fee to sign up for the waitlist and vacant plots will be rented to the waitlist in January after current gardeners have had the opportunity to renew their plots in December.

Volunteer at the Food Bank Gardens

Every year since 2012, volunteers at Twin Ponds and Sunset Community Gardens have worked together to plant, grow, harvest and deliver upwards of 4,000 pounds of fresh organic produce to local food banks. This produce goes directly to members of the local community affected by food insecurity.

VOLUNTEER NEEDS 

• Typical volunteer duties including planting, watering, harvesting and delivery of produce.  There is also opportunity to help with fundraising, supply gathering, garden planning and organizing volunteer events.
• All ages of volunteer welcome. Youth volunteers will need a parent signed volunteer service contract and may be asked to be accompanied by their parent (if they are particularly young). 
• We welcome youth volunteers needing to fulfill school volunteer requirements, so long as they can volunteer during our regularly scheduled meetup days and times. (see schedules below)
• We currently DO NOT manage court ordered community service volunteers.
