An organic community garden for
residents of Barrington, RI

Garden closing date: December 6, 2021

Per the lease agreement, lessees must remove all plant debris, cages, stakes, trellises, stakes by the end of the day on Sunday, December 6. If you plan to lease the same plot next year, fencing surrounding your plot can remain. 

Each lessee must complete 3 hours of community work to lease again in 2021

A reminder that each lessee is required to contribute three hours towards the care and upkeep of common areas by the end of the day on Sunday, December 6. Most of you have already done your hours :) 

If you still have outstanding hours, here is work left to do to get the place tidied up by close of the season: 
  • Mulch any bare spots in community paths
  • Weed the area around the far right compost bin and any other areas that you see. 
Remember to log your hours on the board in the shed!
