The Garden Plot Rules:
Gardeners will:
1. Plant and continuously produce vegetables, fruits, herbs and companion plants as appropriate for each growing season.
2. Maintain the allotted plot(s), including weeding, watering, mulching and all other required maintenance and upkeep.
3. Respect neighboring plots by keeping vines and shade from tall plants or trellis plants within your plot borders.
4. Mulch all soil with organic matter - plots should never contain bare soil. During winter, gardeners must completely mulch plot(s) and/or plant a cover crop. If gardeners are not planting winter crops, they must remove dead plants and temporary structures by the provided deadline.
5. Refrain from the use of chemicals. Gardeners agree never to use unapproved pesticides or herbicides in the Garden. The goal is to be an organic community garden.

3. If, for any reason, you cannot maintain your plot, please inform the Fairview Town center Management Office so that the plot may be reassigned.
