The Sturgis Community Garden Project began in 2012.  There are currently two garden areas that have been created to allow citizens who may not have room for a garden at their home or apartment a place to plant and raise produce.  Water is available at both sites.  The plots are leased out each year for a nominal fee to cover the costs of water and insurance.  Both gardens are fenced and each garden area contains one shed for garden tools.  An application process is in place for those who would like to have a plot.

Fees: 
City Park Garden 10' x 20' spot = $25
City Park 4' x 8' raised beds = $5
Ballpark Road Garden 4' x 8' raised beds = $5

The City Park Garden is located west of the soccer fields between Tom's T's and the City Park on Blanche Street.
The Ballpark Garden is located at 1061 Ballpark Road at the Arizona Street intersection.
