We will be reassigning plots to formergardeners by the first of March and to new gardeners by early April. Remember, there is norental fee. In keeping with the spirit and tradition of community gardening, please donate aportion of your bountiful harvest to the Catholic Charities Food Bank. There will be a designatedarea to leave your donation, or you may deliver it directly to the food bank. On the bulletinboard attached to the shed, there will maps with directions to the Catholic Charities Food Bankand hours of operation.

Each gardener is responsible for the maintenance and upkeep of their garden plot(s)and the paths immediately surrounding their plot(s). This includes weeds, as theseeds travel to neighboring plots, and remain in the soil for years. Failure to do somay result in the Community Garden staff reclaiming it for re-assignment. You mayreceive a friendly reminder if your plot becomes unkempt. Subsequent failure toimprove maintenance could result in plot forfeiture.
