Port Orange Community Gardens 6th Annual Planting Day March 8, 2014

Emails with the Forms are being sent out to those that are current Garden users.  If you need another form, click this link to download forms

Dear Port Orange Community Gardener,

On Saturday, March 8 we will be starting our 6^th season of the Port Orange Community Gardens! This year we are going to do as much of the registration electronically by sending you the forms to fill in, print and bring on Saturday.   If you are receiving this email, we assume you will be gardening with us for the 2014-15 seasons.  If not, please let us know.

Signup and Payment Info:

Bring a printed copy of the numbered Pages 1 and 2 in the attached PDF, filled in with your information and your signature, along with your payment.  Your signature signifies that you have read the two pages and agree to the terms of the Port Orange Community Gardens.   You can pay by cash or check.  Checks can be made out to “Cash” so Pat can deposit more easily for the Church.

New Gardeners:
$50.00 fee - $25.00 for your plot and $25.00 for your weeding deposit.  New Gardeners are first time plot users or those that started in the Fall/Winter season and did not pay their weed deposit.

Returning Gardeners: 
$50.00 fee - $25.00 for your plot and $25.00 for your weeding deposit.  If you failed a weed report last year, you will need to pay a deposit again.

Note on Weed Reports:  Weed reports will commence about a month after planting day, March 8, 2014.  This year, if your plot or aisle area has to be weed-wacked/maintained during the 2014 - 2015 season, you will lose your weed deposit.  Any gardener is welcome to assist in doing weed reports.  There are usually 2 or 3 people to mark the grades and keep photographic records of the plots.

Please remember that the Gardens are a community effort, and consequently weeding is part of keeping the community maintained so other community members can access their garden.  Overgrown weeds block the sunlight to the gardens behind them, block the aisles to gardens adjoining them and make the entire garden effort aesthetically into a junk yard.   Tools left in the aisles are a hazard for other gardeners.  If you sign up for a garden, you are responsible for maintaining it for the entire year.

Dress Code:  While we understand how hot the weather can be while working in the garden, please remember that it is still a public space on Church property, not a beach space.  So please try to remember to wear appropriate clothing, including a shirt/t-shirt, even if it is sleeveless. 

Garden Hours:  Respect the Garden hours, particularly on Sunday.  We are grateful to be able to garden in the space offered by Faith Church, and following a few simple rules will make it a wonderful experience for everyone concerned.

Again, we look forward to seeing everyone on Saturday.

If you have any questions, please feel free to email Pat Gill, Garden ‘CEO’, or email Lonny Rogers, Garden Secretary. 

 

P.S.  We only need form pages 1 and 2.  The remainder of the pages is for your information and you can choose to print or not.
