Registration information
If there are more requests for plots during the registraion process than available spaces, applicants are placed on a waiting list. (Please be aware that there are many more requests for garden plots each year than there are spaces.)
Plots may become available during the garden season as gardeners give up their gardens. Plots are also occasionally reassigned if gardeners fail to follow regulations. To check if there are any open plots, e-mail John Walsh with the City of Alexandria or call him at 703-746-4654. Applicants can be added to the waiting list at any time during the year.
If you are on the waiting list, check back periodically. One of the best ways to get a garden at Chinquapin Park is to take over a plot that has been given up late in the gardening season, such as the fall. Once you have a plot, you have an opportunity to renew it the next season.
