Please review the information below:- The ground plots will be approximately 20x20 feet with a planting area of about 15x15 feet.
- You may begin planting as soon as payment & registration is complete. You are responsible for your own site preparation.
- The roped off area is the designated planting area. The outside posts are a border of your plot. Each renter must keep this border area mulched and free of weeds. We had a bit of a weed problem last year and would like to make sure that the garden is functional, but well-kept.
- At the end of the growing season, all plots and beds must be returned to the same shape as you got them. This includes pulling all vegetation, pulling weeds from your area of the path and removing all items such as posts, string, markers, etc. Any renters who do not comply with this may face a monetary fine for cleanup and lose their right to future plot rentals.
We are excited to get the garden growing and seeing all the ways our community comes together by contributing to this space! We look forward to "Meeting You At The Garden!"
