====================================================

Plant something special this spring! 

For over thirty years, Garden Plots have been provided and maintained by the Park District through our partnership with Commonwealth Edison.

The 20’ x 20’ garden plots are located east of Westgate Road adjacent to Terrace School between Thacker and Miller Streets. Plots will be plowed and made ready for planting as of May 1, weather permitting. In compliance with the Des Plaines Park District policy, we ask that you do not walk your dogs on the garden plots at any time. No motorized vehicles are allowed on the bike path adjacent to the garden plots. 

In order to provide Garden Plots for as many people as possible, there is a strict two plot maximum per household.
