Garden Policies
Our goal is to make our garden a place where it's members can grow and enjoy
their plots. We wish to make our garden a place of beauty for the community.
Because the garden plots are open to any members of the community the following
policies will be enforced:
1. Keep your plot and the area around it weed-free, so seeds don't spread
to other gardens. Plants need to be kept within the boundary of your plot
and paths kept clear for hoses and other gardeners. Plant tall crops only
where they will not shade neighboring plots.
2. We encourage only organic products. Do not use fertilizers, insecticides
or weed repellants that will in any way affect other plots.
3. The fee for the garden plot is due when your application is submitted. If
there are not plots available or your application does not meet the garden
requirements a refund will be given, otherwise, no refund will be given. Fee's
are per growing season, and per plot to help cover garden expenses.
4. When your garden plot is assigned, it must be cultivated and some planting
done within 2 weeks. If your plot becomes unkempt, a 1 week's notice will be
given to clean it up, after that the plot will be reassigned or go back to
Tualatin Community Garden.
5. Conserve water when possible by use of watering cans, and spray nozzles/wands.
Do not let water run unattended. Coil hoses after using.
6. Use of communal tools must only be on premises and cleaning and returning
them to the storage shed should be done at the end of each day. Tools will
be stored and unavailable in the off-season: October - March.
7. Pets must be leashed when in the garden and kept out of other's gardens.
Pick up after your pets and dispose of waste in the trash can not in the compost
bins.
8. Compost bins are posted with instructions on materials that can be composted.
Any other trash must be picked up and put in trash cans. Do not dispose of
household trash in the Tualatin Community Garden containers.
9. If you must abandon your plot for any reason, please notify the garden team
leader or someone on the Tualatin Community Garden team from BFCC. If vacation
plans prevent you from watering or caring for your plot, please notify the
team leader so arrangements can be made.
I use this garden at the sole discretion of Tualatin Community Garden and
Boones Ferry Community Church and agree to abide by its policies and practices.
Failure to follow these policies may result in my plot being reassigned.
