Community Hours

Sharing in community work is one of the most valuable and important aspects of the garden.

CURRENT LIST OF WORK NEEDED IN THE GARDEN

Please reference the document above for options to fulfill your community hours.

As a reminder, all gardeners are required to work community hours.

  • Ten (10) hours per plot per year for a full plot and five (5) hours per plot per year for a half plot.  It is requested that you do more if possible.  

  • Community work must be completed by December 31st of each garden season.  

  • Please record your hours on the index card in the shed for credit.  

  • Gardeners who are faced with extenuating circumstances, as approved by Coordinator, have the option of paying off their hours at the rate of $10/hour. Such payment must also be made before the assignment of a plot.

    Gardeners who do not complete their hours and have not communicated with the Coordinator may be able to return but only as new gardeners the following season and must pay $10.00/hr. for all unworked community hours of the previous season.  In addition, their name shall be placed at the bottom of the new gardener waiting list for one-half plot.


    Maintaining the path next to your plot(s) does not constitute community work.
