Member Expectations

As participants in such a community, members are bound by a set of expectations that help maintain the harmony and productivity of the garden:

Active Participation
Respect for others and for the environment
Commitment to learning and sharing knowledge

Adhering to these expectations, garden community members build an environment that fosters collaboration, sustainability, and belonging. The shared passion for gardening and collective effort invested in the garden will promote a thriving and vibrant community where individuals can connect with nature, nurture their gardening skills, and form meaningful relationships with fellow gardeners.

Member Obligations

Members with an assigned plot are REQUIRED to pay dues ANNUALLY in order to maintain their plot. The dues are as follows:

$50 for an in-ground plot
$25 for an accessible bed

Payments will be collected at the Heurich Park Community Garden spring meeting each year.*

* Due to new tax laws, we will not be able to collect electronic payments as of now, so we decided to collect the annual dues during the spring meeting for all members who confirmed to continue with their plot for 2025 along with Newcomers.

Members are also REQUIRED to have 3 hours of service hours per year. There will be a QR code this year that you will get on the day of the Workday activity. Workdays will be located on the calendar and informed in person. Future workdays will be emailed on a regular basis (usually at least once per month).
