Updated October 17, 2026. Offer: free website build (up to 5 pages, normally $399) for nonprofits and community groups; Website Care $30/month required.

## The short answer
Yes, a community garden can get a free website build from Cheap Cheap Websites, whether it is registered or not. The build includes up to 5 pages, drafted words after a consultation, and a mobile-friendly layout. The only cost is Website Care at $30/month, which covers hosting, HTTPS, backups, weekly checks, A/B testing and small edits. Recurring plans can be canceled anytime.

## Your free 5-page website
1. Get a plot: How plots are assigned, the waitlist, season dates, fees and a simple interest form.
2. Volunteer days: Workday schedule, what to bring, and a sign-up link for tasks.
3. Workshops and events: Planting classes, harvest parties, seed swaps and kids' garden hours.
4. Share the harvest: Donation gardens, produce drop-offs and neighbors who may pick up fresh food.
5. Visit and contact: Address, gate hours, rules, accessibility and who coordinates.

## What a community garden website has to do in ten seconds
Someone wants a plot before spring, someone else wants to drop off tomato starts, and a school class asks about a visit. A garden's busy season is short, so clear information matters. Say whether plots are open, full, or on a waitlist. Show the season, with planting and workday dates. List the address with a note on where to enter. Post the rules in short bullets: watering, tools, pesticides, guests.

## What is free and what Website Care covers
The build is free. It is the same as our Launch Website, normally $399 one time: up to 5 pages, designed for you, words drafted from a consultation, mobile-friendly, and 10 revision rounds. Website Care is $30/month and required. It covers hosting, HTTPS, backups, weekly checks, A/B testing and small edits, like moving a workday after rain. It is the only cost, and you can cancel recurring plans anytime. If you need more than 5 pages, we quote first. See how it works .

## How gardeners find a community garden on Google and in AI assistants
People search "community garden near me", "how to rent a garden plot", "volunteer at a community garden" or "free compost pickup". We build in clear page titles and descriptions, headings that match those phrases, schema so Google and AI assistants like ChatGPT can understand the location and hours, an XML sitemap and fast pages on phones. Your address and season are written the same way everywhere. We cannot promise rankings. The optional Monthly SEO add-on begins at $50/month and is never required.

## Must-haves and pitfalls for garden sites
Update seasonally. A plot form left open in winter creates confusion. Be careful with location. Share the gate address, but not lock codes or when the shed is empty. Keep children safe. Show garden activities without kids' full names or unconsented photos. Explain donated produce simply, and avoid medical or food safety claims you cannot back up. A garden often grows from a block club, so see neighborhood associations . For land care work, look at environmental groups .
