The Crystal Lake Park District offers a Community Garden at Hill Farm Acres at 705 Barlina Road in Crystal Lake. If you enjoy the outdoors, saving money and growing plants, you'll want to have one of our 40' by 20' garden plots! Flowers, vegetables, herbs, or whatever you desire, will grow well in the rich soil. Due to an overwhelming demand for Garden Plots, we will be limiting the number of plots you will be able to purchase. Plots are available to both residents and non-residents.

Non-Resident Garden Plot Fee: $50 per plot/$35 senior citizen (ages 60+)
