guidelines
We work to keep the garden a happy, secure, and enjoyable place where all participants can garden and socialize peacefully in a neighborly manner. In order to offer a high quality community garden program, good management techniques are essential. Your participation in the garden implies your agreement with these guidelines.
- I will have my plot cleaned out with something planted by June 15 and agree to:
- keep my plot planted and maintained all summer long;
- keep weeds to a minimum;
- and keep common areas immediately surrounding my plot clean.
- If I must abandon my plot for any reason, I will notify the garden committee.
- If my plot becomes unkempt, I will be given notice to clean it up. If I do not, I understand my plot may be reassigned or tilled-up.
