Rent a municipal garden plot 2025

Would you like to plant your own vegetables, fruit and flowers? You can do this in a municipal garden plot in 1 of the municipality’s educational gardening complexes. You can rent a garden plot from 15 March to 15 November 2025. Sign up for this in December 2024.

How it works

• You maintain a garden plot which measures 15 square metres. You will need at least 4 hours per week for this. For example, for:
  • weeding
  • setting out netting
  • tying up plants and giving them water
• You indicate in which gardening complex you would like to rent a municipal garden plot. Look at the list below.
• Did too many people sign up for 1 gardening complex? Then the municipality will hold a lottery in mid-January 2025. You will get an email from the municipality shortly afterwards. It will inform you about whether you were selected and how the procedure will go from here.
• The municipality can refuse your registration if it has an important reason to do so.
• Will a garden plot become available before 15 May 2025? Then the municipality will contact the residents who were not chosen during the lottery and are on a waiting list.

• You are 18 years or older.
• You live in The Hague.
