Millennials are already imagining their very own Secret Garden.

Do you own vacant property in Sacramento and have no clue what to do with it? Well you’re in luck — the city has a program that just might inspire you.

Some of the eligibility criteria includes:

  • Property size between 0.10 and 3 acres
  • Metered water service connection or approved water well
  • Only includes structures related to agricultural activity, such as tool sheds or greenhouses
  • Does not include dwelling units
