Work commitment

​2 hours of community work: As part of the Lease and Use Agreement, you agree to participate in two (2) hours of community work to assist in the care and maintenance of common areas and outer pathways of the garden. (Note this is down from 3 hours last year and from 4 hours the year before thanks in large part to the outstanding work you have done to bring the garden to this level.) PLUS...

Keeping north and east pathway clear of weeds: All lessees are required to keep the pathways on the north and east sides of their plot (5 feet out or to the next plot) relatively weed-free and well-covered with wood chips.

The initial weeding and placement of at least a one-inch layer of wood chips on the pathways must be completed by Sunday, June 6, 2021. 

Here are instructions on recording your work hours.
