Welcome to the online Deep Ellum Urban Garden (DUG) Registration!

Background

DUG's Mission is to GROW (food, health, knowledge, beauty, community) by providing opportunities for people to grow food for themselves, increase their healthy activity, get to know their neighbors, learn from and teach each other, and create a productive and beautiful commons as part of the greater community.

About the Application Process

Apply here for a plot or to get on a waiting list (if DUG is at capacity). Waiting list times are usually short as plots become available throughout the year.

The Garden was established and operates for the individuals living or working in and businesses in Deep Ellum, downtown and Farmers Market. Those volunteers who make the Garden happen, while perhaps not in these areas, are especially welcome.



You are encouraged to download and read the DUG Gardening Agreement and Rules before applying. These set out the legal terms and garden rules that will apply should you receive a plot.

For purposes of this application, DEEP ELLUM is defined to mean the area bounded between I-30 and the DART tracks from Central Expressway to Fair Park, plus the neighborhood known as Exposition Park.

Plot pricing is set at $75 per year per 4'x4' plot. Cash, check and Paypal are accepted for payment.

DUG is a Project of the Deep Ellum Community Association (DECA). If you have any questions, please contact DECA at melissa@deepellumtexas.com
