FAQ

If you’re looking to join a community garden in Austin, please let us know! You can email us at lamplightgarden@gmail.com with any additional questions.

  • No! All experience levels are welcome! Joining the garden is a great way to learn.

  • $20 per person for the first two family members and $5 for each additional adult family member.

    This helps cover the cost of water/tools/ plants/ seeds/etc. All supplies are covered for members while at the garden.

  • During the growing season we have teams that meet Tuesday evening, Thursday evening, and Sunday morning. We encourage members to attend team work groups, but members are welcome to enjoy the garden anytime during park hours.

  • Members commit to 24 hours of volunteer time per year. We find most members easily exceed this.

  • Yes! The majority of our garden is communal gardening space which means at the end of work days we harvest and divide the food.

  • Just yourself! Membership dues and fundraisers help cover seeds, water, tools, gardening gloves, etc.

    We recommend wearing appropriate clothing for gardening: closed-toed shoes, clothes you are comfortable getting dirty, and sun protection.
