Garden Guidelines and Rules
- I will have something planted in the garden by ____________, and keep it planted all summer long.
- If I must abandon my plot for any reason, I will notify the garden leaders.
- I will keep weeds down and maintain the areas immediately surrounding my plot if any.
- If my plot becomes unkempt, I understand I will be given 1 week's notice to clean it up. At that time, it will be re-assigned or tilled in.
- I will keep trash and litter cleaned from the plot, as well as from adjacent pathways and fences.
- I will participate in the two cleanup events of the garden.
- I will plant tall crops only where they will not shade neighboring plots.
- I will pick only my own crops unless given permission by another plot user.
- I will not use fertilizers, insecticides or weed repellents that will in any way affect other plots. I understand this is an organic garden and will only use materials that comply with organic gardening standards.
- I will not bring unruly pets to the garden.
- I will be safe with my tools. For example, I will point tong and bladed tools toward the ground when not in use and carry all tools at waist height.
