Beginning Monday, April 1, 2024 the Village of Hoffman Estates will be reserving plots in the community gardens. Residents can rent a garden plot for $25. There are two garden plot locations: north at Mumford Drive and Westbury Drive, or south at Volid Drive and Vista Lane.
Reservations are made on a first come, first served basis by calling Public Works at 847-490-6800 or email at publicworks@hoffmanestates.org beginning at 8:30 A.M. No calls or emails will be accepted before that time.
Calls and messages received after 8:30 a.m. and left on voicemail or email will be recorded with the date and time called in.
A garden plot request must include:
- Full name
- Address including zip code
- Phone number
- Email address
- Garden location (north or south) and plot number preference (if known)
When requesting a plot by voicemail or email, be sure to include all of the above information. Plot assignments will be on a first come, first serve basis. Residents will be able to reserve one plot only. Requests for additional garden plots will be put on a waiting list, and assigned only if space remains available after the initial sign-up. Plot assignment confirmations will be emailed or mailed to residents the following week.

Come to the Green Side 
Is it available to non residents also?
Comment by Vanita April 5, 2012 @ 7:07 pmI called the Public Works Department at the Village of Hoffman Estates. They said this program is only available for residents.

Check your local area. I think streamwoid and schaumburg have similar programs
Comment by Rebecca April 3, 2017 @ 1:49 pmYou are correct, Rebecca, about Schaumburg having community garden plots. They are offered through the Schaumburg Park District at Olympic Park. Unfortunately, they are completely booked for the year 2017. Wow!
I could not find one in Streamwood though. I’m assuming if they do have one that it’s not in Schaumburg Township? Pass on the link if you can find one.
Thank you for the suggestions!
