The following 10 gardens are overseen by Jefferson County Extension Service (JCES).  Each garden has a designated manager. This popular program provides access to plots that range in size, depending on the garden. Plots are rented by the year, with the option to renew your plot rental each year, so you have the opportunity to garden year-round. At most gardens, water and small equipment, like tillers, are provided at no additional cost.

If you have any questions please contact the Jefferson County Cooperative Extension Service at 502-569-2344 or dlbrowne@uky.edu.
