Communal Plots

Plants sown in the communal areas are just that: communal. These plots are designed to offer everyone — the general public, members, or people who simply wish to garden sparingly —a place to grow and harvest food. To ensure best farming practices, our communal plots are planned each season by members of the Communal and Maintenance team with input from the general garden. Garden and community members may not plant in communal beds without approval of the Communal and Maintenance team. All community members are welcomed to assist in maintenance of community plots, following the lead of the Communal and Maintenance team. Garden members and regular volunteers are welcome to harvest freely from the communal beds only, with the understanding that we all must take only our fair share.
