Guidelines, Terms, and Conditions for Participation

• I will not apply any pesticides, chemical fertilizers, or weed repellents on my or any other plot. This is an organic garden.
• I will not plant any invasive species in my garden plot, including, but not limited to, mint, lambsquarters, or daylilies. (For a full list of invasive plants in KY, see the Kentucky Exotic Plant Pest Council.)
• I will maintain my plot with necessary weeding and watering.
• I will use water responsibly, only for watering my plants, and will turn off the hose when finished.
• When using the hose, I will be mindful of other people’s plots and will be careful not to drag the hose through them.
• If I must abandon my plot for any reason, I will notify the Garden Coordinator at community.garden@asburyseminary.edu.
• I understand that, if my plot is left fallow for more than a month, I will be asked if I desire to continue in the garden or turn over my plot to someone on the waiting list.
• I will keep my plants, especially running vines within my own plot and will not leave any tools, rocks, or trash lying in the paths between the garden beds.
• I will not harvest anything from my neighbors’ plots without their permission.
• I will help to keep the garden a welcoming place by returning tools when I am finished with them, placing my trash in the proper receptacles, placing weeds in the compost pile, and returning toys to the sandbox.
• If I bring my children to the garden, I will ensure that they do not tamper with other people's plants.
• When I or my family are out of town, I will be responsible for ensuring that someone cares for my plot in my absence.
• I will work to keep the garden a happy, secure, and enjoyable place where all participants can garden and socialize peacefully in a neighborly manner.
