Rules, Terms and Conditions for Participation

If accepted as a gardener, I will abide by the following rules, terms, and conditions:

My participation is voluntary as a member of the Second Green Mountain Townhome Community Garden. I agree to abide by its policies and practices.
The fee for the use of the garden is $50 per plot, per year. This fee is due at the time of registration. There are no refunds.
Returning plot owners can renew their plot after January 1 and have until February 15 to renew the previously assigned plot. Renewals are only allowed for 2 consecutive years. If you have held a plot for 2 consecutive years, you may not renew and will have to submit a new request.
Following the renewal time period, all plots become available to new gardeners. If there are remaining available plots after April 15, any registered gardener may apply for a second plot.
Once assigned a plot, I will cultivate and plant it within two weeks or no later than May 15th (whichever is later). Any unused plot will be forfeited.
I will keep all my plants within the limits of my garden plot. I will keep my plot and the accompanying walkway free of weeds, pests and diseases.
I will not plant any illegal plant, or any plant currently described as illegal under Federal law.
I will not apply any pesticides in the garden without the approval of the Committee.
I will not give any garden lock combination to another person.
I will weed my plot once a week.
At the end of the garden season or no later than November 1st. I will clean up my plot(s) so it is ready for the next garden season. Should this expectation be ignored I can potentially be denied a garden plot the following growing season.
I will harvest produce from ONLY my plot. I will not harvest from other plots.
