Season Extenders
Growing at this elevation can be a challenge when it comes to weather! We may experience frosts throughout each month of the season. Garden Manager, Jess recommends checking the forecast on multiple apps or sources very regularly - when temperatures dip below 40 degrees, cold-sensitive plants will need to be covered or they may die or become damaged.
You can cover your plants with row cover draped over hoops or other structures and secured at the sides. These will protect plants from harsh temperatures. SCG-EATS sells season extension kits, designed to fit the garden plots.
These kits include a 20 x 10 ft piece of Agribon-19 row cover, a 20 x 10 ft piece of Agribon-50 frost blanket, and 5 metal hoops.

Extend your growing season with our high altitude gardening kit that includes Agribon, Frost Cloth, and Hoops. All proceeds will benefit our programs at Summit Community Gardens. Thank you!
Order your season extension kit online and we’ll leave it at your Garden Plot.
Help a neighbor grow! Your sponsorship provides one full garden plot for a community member who otherwise couldn’t afford to participate this season.
Each community gardener commits to a minimum of eight hours of volunteer service to help maintain the common areas. No time to complete these hours? No problem, purchase a “Volunteer Buyout” for $160.
