Welcome to Ticonderoga Farms Suburban Community Garden! 

The benefits of community gardens are long term and adaptable to changing circumstances. Because they restore a public realm to suburban existence, community gardens are elements for sustainable communities. Because of its social benefits, it is appropriate for us as a local farm, to have a role in the implementation of this community garden on our property for our neighbors.

Residents of South Riding, Stone Ridge, Kirkpatrick Farms, East Gate, Cedar Crest, Arcola and the other communities in Dulles and Blue Ridge District may apply to rent a plot as they are available. The garden plots will be assigned on a first come first serve basis, beginning on the North end of the Gardens.  Groups from Churches, Schools, Youth Groups, Scouts and others are encouraged to participate.
