- All gardeners are required to complete an application form. A plot fee is due when your plot number is assigned for the season. The cost per plot is shown on the attached map/table.
- Keep your plot and adjoining pathways tended. If you plan to discontinue use of your space, please let the registrar know as soon as possible so that your plot can be reassigned.
- Plant tall plants and vines in places where they will not interfere with your neighbour’s plot.
- All plots will be inspected three times during the season. Renters of plots that are not planted with at least 3 rows, are weedy, or do not meet the guidelines, will be notified. Failure to respond within 14 days will result in forfeiture of the plot.
- Using herbicides, pesticides and fungicides, and black plastic and carpet mulches is prohibited. B.T., acetic acid (vinegar), insecticidal soap and sulphur mixed with water may be sprinkled on plants.
- At the end of the garden season, all dead plants and non-plant materials (string, wire, wood, metal, plastic, etc.) must be removed and disposed of properly and all gardens left neat and tidy. Ensure your garden is cleaned up before the Thanksgiving weekend.
