City of Newton issued the following announcement on Apr. 17.

The Perry Street garden plots are located on Decatur Street on the 300 block. Parking is available on the streets located west and east of the garden ( S. Church and Perry St. respectively). The Perry St. (alley) area is preferred and improved.

The Garden season runs from April 1 to November 1. Participants are granted access to their plot as soon as they have received their plot number confirmation. All plots will need to be cleared of all plant and non-plant material and returned to a level state by November 1 2021.

Registration is open until all plots have been rented. The plots will be assigned on a first come first serve basis.

The fee to rent a garden plot covers many service costs, maintenance cost of mowing, time and materials of the brochures and administration fees. This year we are offering one garden plot size 15ft.x15ft. for $10.00. You may rent as many plots as you wish.

The fee is due with your completed registration and Release of Liability form. Please return the completed forms to City Hall. After turning in your forms and payment you will receive your plot number assignment for the season. Plot number markers are located in the Northwest corner of each plot.
