Not uncommon at all. In the US they're generally called community gardens, and in larger cities often have similarly long wait lists to the OP's.

- 13of40 4y agoNot sure if this is a pro-tip that could be repeated or not, but I've had a plot for five years. When I signed up they contacted me and told me about the extensive waiting list, and offered to tear up my check if I didn't want to wait. "But it's a cashier's check," I replied. I think they bumped me up in the queue just to avoid the hassle of returning it, because I was immediately approved. (Edit: Just to be clear I think the wait time was a year or two, not 40.)
- paulcole 4y agoYes, I’m in Portland, OR and waited for a plot in a community garden a few blocks from my apartment for about 4 years - this garden is very popular and now has a wait list of 6-8 years. There were several gardens in the city with openings but none were very convenient to where I live.
- selimthegrim 4y agoMy aunt had one in the garden next to Buckman Elementary, it seemed well subscribed.
- paulcole 4y agoYeah the closer in gardens in SE tend to be really popular and well taken care of. Buckman, Colonel Summers, Clinton, etc.
