Crows Woods Community Gardens
Crows Woods Gardeners Application  2008
Gardeners working on Opening Day 2002
The community gardens at Crows Woods were established in 1982. They are currently organized and maintained by a group of citizens known as the Crows Woods Gardeners. The plots are 20' by 20', but smaller 10' by 20' plots are also available. All plots have access to water. Gardening a plot is time consuming. Maintaining a full plot requires five or six hours a week. It is strongly recommended that those with limited time or gardening experience take a small plot.

Failure to meet these obligations can result in losing your plot.
1.   A Haddonfield resident must maintain the plot.
2.   Plots must be maintained throughout the growing season, which runs from April 15th to November 15th
