Mission Statement: Community Harvest Garden is an outreach of Community Unitarian Universalist Church. We are a community of gardeners who nurture the Earth’s resources to produce organic food and share this bounty with our neighbors in need. As a community of gardeners, we create a compassionate, welcoming, and respectful place.
All gardeners must submit this signed agreement annually before working a plot.
In support of our Mission, each Community Harvest Gardener will:
1. Pay an annual $45 fee, $25 for a half plot or for half a year.
4. Agree to donate 50% of produce from your plot. All ripe, unmarked produce available at 7:30 a.m. on Saturday mornings will be harvested for donation to a local food pantry.
9. Learn and use best pratices for organic gardens.
10. Avoid stepping in the garden beds resulting in compacted soil.
11. Never harvest for self from another gardener's plot or work another garden unless permission is given by that gardener.
12. Respect neighboring plots by keeping vines and shade from tall plants or trellis within plot borders. Gardeners are premitted to prune plants obstructed pathways.
13. Keep areas litter free.
14. Refrain from use of drugs, alcohol, tobacco or vaping on garden grounds.
15. Refrain from bringing pets into the garden area.
16. Refrain from composting dog and cat feces.
17. Refrain from requesting donations on behalf of the garden without prior written authorization by the Leadership Team.
18. Inform the Leadership Team immediately if unable to maintain adopted plot for any reason (i.e. health, work or other reasons). Prepare a mid-year forfeited plot for the next gardener by clearing it of any non-producing plants and weeds.
Your plot will be adopted out to another gardner after two contacts regarding breach of these conditions.
