Be sure to understand the following
Being a part of the PPCG and having garden plots is only a part of it. Please be sure that you understand we are asking all plot holders to also participate in the general up keep of the area around their bed, up keep of the garden in general, and to participate in the care of the food back rows.
To prevent illegal dumping in the parking lot and around the garden we have added a cable across both entrances. To prevent unwanted traffic into or through the garden we ask that you reconnect the cable to the post after you drive in. Please do not park where you will block others trying to drive into or out of the garden.
Your signed Garden Plot Permit and Release Form is your permission to be on the property. We recommend that you keep it with your garden tools / supplies that your regularly bring to the garden. This way if the County Sheriff or IEP Security is patrolling the garden you will be able to show it if asked.
Safety first. The best practice is prevention, so be careful how and where you leave your tools. Please do not leave a items in or across the walkways after you are finished for the day.
