3437 Garden Contract

Rules, Terms, and Conditions for Participation

Thank you for your commitment in joining the 3437 Garden! We expect a great and exciting season this year! In the interest of making this community gardening experience enjoyable for all who garden with us, please review the following rules, terms, and conditions for participation.

1.    Use:  I understand that I use this garden at the sole discretion of the 3437 Garden and I agree to abide by the terms and conditions by its policies and practices.

2.    Fees:  I agree to pay the fee for an individual plot at $20.00 per season, or will contact the garden manager to arrange a sliding scale fee. Fees are due before you start gardening. If fees are not received by the listed date the individual plot gardeners forfeit their plots. Sliding scale agreements are reviewed on a case-by-case basis. No one will be turned away for inability to pay.

3.    Individual Plot Assignment:  Once I have been assigned a plot, I will cultivate and plant in it within it by May 31st. I agree that if I do not plant or cultivate my plot by May 31st, I forfeit my plot for the season and my plot will be assigned to another gardener. If I do not cultivate by May 31st, my fee will be used as a donation to the 3437 Garden.

4.    Plot Caretaking:  I will not expand my plot beyond its borders or into paths or other plots. I will keep all my plants within the boundaries of my garden plot and will not allow any plants to grow more than six feet high. Unfortunately vining plants such as winter squashes, melons, and pumpkins are not allowed, and will be removed. I must keep my plot free of weeds, pests, and diseases. Under no circumstances will I use any chemical pesticides, herbicides, fungicides, or non-organic fertilizers to treat my garden. If a plot is visibly unkempt for over two weeks garden managers will contact me to tend my plot. I agree that if my garden plot remains untended for an additional week I will forfeit my plot.

5.    Prohibited Activities:  I will not plant any illegal plants. I will not smoke, drink alcoholic beverages, use illegal drugs, or gamble in the garden. I will not come to the garden while under the influence of alcohol or illegal drugs. I will not bring weapons to the garden. I will not have a bonfire anywhere in the garden.

6.    Guests and Visitors:  I understand that guests and visitors are encouraged. If I bring guests or visitors to the garden I understand that they must follow all rules, terms, and conditions stated here, and I am solely responsible for the behavior of my guests.

7.  Garden Communication:  I understand and agree that as part of my participation in the garden I will sign up to receive email notifications from the 3437 blog listed above.

8.    Water:  I agree to follow all water use rules.

9.    Other Gardeners and Plots:  I agree to be respectful of other gardeners’ plots and will not take food or plants from another plot unless I first get permission from the plot holder.

10. R-E-S-P-E-C-T:  I will respect other gardeners, and I will not use abusive or profane language or discriminate against others. I will work to keep the garden a happy, secure, and enjoyable place where all participants can garden and socialize peacefully in a neighborly manner.
