Rent the Garden
In October 2020, BKCM acquired the vacant,1,700-square-foot parcel of land next to our existing garden. We transformed the neglected patch of land into an inviting community garden and gathering space, equipped with lit and heated tents, tables, chairs and free WiFi.
We are excited to offer this space for rental to our community. The space is perfect for birthday parties, baby showers, special events, cultural programming, weddings and more. There is coverage for rain, heat in the winter and bathroom access close by.
TENTS: The garden has two 12 foot by 16 foot tents covering around one half of the space. The walls can be brought up or down as wished and sound proofing has been added to both for more privacy.
LIGHTING/HEAT: Both tents have overhead lighting and heat as needed. Wonderful for outdoor winter events.
MUSIC: Do you want a performer at your event? We also offer access to booking a musician for any type of event (wedding, child’s birthday party, etc.)
What is the capacity of the space?
Capacity of the full garden is 75 people.
Do you provide tables/chairs?
Yes we can provide up to:
10 red cocktail tables
20 red folding chairs
15 wooden folding chairs
3 eight-foot tables.
We do NOT provide tablecloths for any tables.
Am I allowed to have food and/or drink at my event?
Yes! You are allowed to bring any food and beverages to the event. We will have trash cans available, but you will be responsible for setting up and breaking down.
Do you provide sound equipment?
Only acoustic music is allowed at this time.
We can offer a small microphone and speaker for speeches.
Are there any restrictions in the garden?

Is there a rain policy?
The tents cover around half of the garden and are waterproof. But if you wish to cancel due to weather you have until 5 days before the event to cancel and get a full refund.
Cancelation 24 hours before the event leads to a forfeit of the deposit.
The deposit is 50% of the rental cost and is due one week prior to the event. The remaining is due the day of the event.
