Garden Rules and Bylaws

The garden ratified new bylaws in November 2025. You can read them here or in the shed. All members must sign the Membership Agreement online or in the shed. That Agreement includes the Garden Rules:

  • I will pay dues by May 1

  • I will plant my plot, if I have one, by May 1 and tend it April to October (as long as the water is turned on)

  • I will host twelve open hours during the garden’'s scheduled open time (Fri 4-8, Sat 10-6, Sun 10-6)*

  • I will complete at least 12 hours of work during garden Work Days or the equivalent through a committee

  • I will attend at least two garden meetings

  • I will be kind, respectful, and helpful, and will refrain from hurtful behavior

  • I will supervise children in my care closely and will not allow or bring animals into the garden

  • I will not hold children’s gatherings in the garden without permission from the group

  • I will not give away my key, copy it, or lend it for copying

  • I will not store personal items or leave unwanted material anywhere in the garden

  • I will mind the bylaws, which I have read in the shed or on our website

  • I will treat members' personal information and garden communications with privacy and respect (e.g. won't share or publish members' contact information or pictures without their consent; won't spam the list)

  • I understand that if I violate this agreement, I may be subject to action, including reassignment of my plot, dismissal from the garden or confiscation of my key.
