Re: Community Gardens Summer Clean Up
Dear Community Gardeners:
I hope everyone had a good season of gardening. I enjoyed watching the fruits of your
labor come to fruition. We are now starting to wind down the 2021/2022 growing season.
For those of you who plan to leave for the summer and are vacating your plot, please help
us by removing all plants, trash, trellises, and structures before you leave. Any plants or
items left in the gardens will be disposed of after August 23, 2022. The City is not
responsible for any items left behind. Randy/Mike…When do we clean out the plots?
If you plan to continue gardening through the summer and do not want to have your garden
plot cleaned out, please contact me via email at dthompson@cityofpalmdesert.org no later
than July 15, 2022. Please include your name, garden name, and plot number in the email.
Staff will place DO NOT DISTURB signs in your plot so that your vegetation is not removed.
Please be advised that the gardens will close intermittently in late August/early September
to allow for maintenance.
Agreements for the 2022/2023 gardening season will be available online at
http://www.cityofpalmdesert.org/departments/parks-recreation on September 1, 2022. Plots
will be available on a first come first served basis. If you plan to keep the same plot you will
need to contact Debbie Thompson via email at dthompson@cityofpalmdesert.org no later
than August 15, 2022. Once you make your payment (after September 1, 2022,), you can
begin gardening. If we do not hear from you we will make the plot available to others. To
make payment, please mail or drop off check at City of Palm Desert, 73510 Fred Waring
Drive, Palm Desert, CA 92260. Make checks payable to the City of Palm Desert. If you

prefer to stop by City Hall in person, please call me at 760-837-1663 first to make sure I am
available.
If you have any questions, please contact Debbie Thompson at 760-837-1663 or
dthompson@cityofpalmdesert.org.
Thank you for gardening with us, and I hope to see you in October!
Sincerely,
Debbie Thompson
