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.
