The basics

Members pay an annual fee, and in exchange get access to their own raised bed, tools, and water for the season. Members also have opportunities to connect with other gardeners, and sometimes there are perks like free seeds or plants available. The garden also participates in outreach events and partners with local organizations.

All members are required to volunteer 2 hours per month for garden upkeep (in addition to the time spent on your own plot). Activities like weeding pathways, planting/weeding/watering the community pumpkin patch, and hauling weeds to the burn pile count towards this requirement.
