East Brunswick Community Garden

— Rules and Guidelines 2009 —

I will pay a fee of $10 to help cover garden expenses.

I will have something planted in the garden by June 1st and keep it planted all summer long.

If I must abandon my plot for any reason, I will notify the garden leadership.

I will keep weeds at a minimum and maintain the areas immediately surrounding my plot, if any.  (We will schedule group weeding days once a month)

If my plot becomes unkempt, I understand I will be given 1 week's notice to clean it up. At that time, it will be re-assigned or tilled in.

I will keep trash and litter out of the plot, as well as from adjacent pathways and fences.

I will participate in the fall cleanup of the garden.

I will plant tall crops where they will not shade neighboring plots.

I will pick only my own crops unless given permission by another plot user.

I will not use pesticides or weed repellents.

I will ensure that any fertilizer I use will not affect any other plots.

I agree to volunteer hours toward community gardening efforts.

I will not bring pets to the garden.

I will not smoke in the garden.

I understand that neither the garden group nor owners of the land are responsible for my actions. I THEREFORE AGREE TO HOLD HARMLESS THE GARDEN GROUP AND OWNERS OF THE LAND FOR ANY LIABILITY, DAMAGE, LOSS OR CLAIM THAT OCCURS IN CONNECTION WITH USE OF THE GARDEN BY ME OR ANY OF MY GUESTS

I will have fun!
