As a Hanover Community Gardener I agree to:
- PAY annual dues on time to avoid late fees or loss of my plot.
- PLANT my garden by JUNE 15th or risk having my plot re-assigned to someone on the waiting list.
- BE responsible for keeping my plot, paths and walkways relatively free of weeds and grass. I will NOT: 1) use plastic ground cloth and 2) allow plants to grow on the community fence.
- USE only organic fertilizers and pesticides.
- PLACE garden waste in the compost area in the center garden. Remove all diseased plant materials as well as planters, pots, and other debris for disposal at home.
- MULCH with natural materials to suppress weeds and reduce water loss.
- CONSERVE water loss by watering in the morning or evening while being mindful of other gardens when moving a hose around corners of neighboring plots. WILL not have my plants shade my neighbor’s garden.
- TURN OFF water and close the fence door when I leave the garden.
- PARTICIPATE in scheduled workdays and ad hoc maintenance.
- GROW or buy plants from local sources to avoid blight and diseases.
- CLEAN my plot at the end of the gardening season.
These guidelines are intended to make gardening a pleasant and relaxing experience for all of us. Suggestions are welcome!
