Membership Options
General Memberships provide an individual or household with full garden access and entitle members to retain their current plot or maintain a place on the waitlist.
Membership benefits include free ability to enjoy the garden from dawn to dusk and access to the garden’s charcoal grills.
Members are required to participate in monthly workdays, attend two monitoring shifts, and support two committees.
General Household dues are $50 annually.
Senior Citizen and Student dues are $35 annually.
While membership dues are required, no one will be denied membership for financial reasons.
Memberships run the duration of each calendar year — January 1 through December 31 — with no roll overs.
Supporting Membership provides garden access but does not include a garden plot and exempts members from attendance, monitoring, or committee requirements.

For the 2026 season, members must submit applications and payment by April 11, 2026 to keep or receive a garden bed.
The deadline to plant in your bed is May 10, 2026. If you do not plant by then, your bed will be reassigned to someone on the waitlist.
Membership Requirements
Every gardener must fulfill at least 2 monitoring shifts (3 hours each) scheduled on Saturdays and Sundays. Open hours are required to maintain the garden’s GreenThumb license.
Every gardener is required to attend workdays and be active in at least 1 committee. Serving on the Steering Committee, as the Membership Coordinator, Monitor Coordinator, Webmaster, or Treasurer, counts towards fulfillment.
Every gardener is asked to pitch in on developing and maintaining the community garden. If you are physically able, you may help with simple construction, routine cleanup, and planting. If you are not physically able, we ask you to help with administrative duties, light setup for events, etc.
To receive and/or keep an individual bed, you must actively participate by attending general meetings, participate in garden votes, support garden activities & maintain your plot. This also applies to managing a communal bed.
Good Member Practices
Do not:
Miss your monitoring hours
Miss more than 3 workdays. (This does not apply if you complete assigned Steering Committee/committee chair make-up workday projects)
Miss attending your committee meetings or fulfilling your committee assignments.
Interfere with communal beds without explicit permission unless it is your assigned area. This includes planting, transplanting, removing plants, pruning, redrawing borders or any other tampering.
Tampering with another member’s plot without their explicit permission may lead to immediate revocation of membership for one year.
