Merchant Park Community Garden

We need to get our membership applications processed so we’ll have all our renewal fees in the bank before it’s time to start work on the garden this spring! You can print out the application and deliver it with a check to Veronica Harrigan in person, or you can fill it out online and submit your payment via PayPal.

UPDATE: We do not have any open plots left for the 2013 Growing Season! Please do not submit any new applications!
We will post more information about our waiting list shortly after we finalize our new memberships.

One note: the PayPal automatic email receipt still says “receipt for donation to Emily Barney (fundraising@merchantparkcommunitygarden.org).” This is something we hope to resolve this year, but to set up online payments the account had to be verified with personal information so I used mine originally. The money is in a separate account that is managed by Ann Kauth and Gudrun Petterson, and does not benefit any individual members.

At our last garden meeting, one of the items on the agenda was a proposed new garden administrative document to cover conflict resolution.

We want all members to have time to read and think about this document, so they will be posted here for 30 days.

You can find links below to the full text of our current rules here in English and Spanish, as well as the proposed text for the Conflict Resolution rules, which now incorporates the text suggested by members at our last all-garden meeting.

It’s that time of year again – time to get a few good people to nominate themselves for leadership so we can get the vote out.

Most of our incumbents from 2011 will be continuing in their positions, but we’re looking for new leaders for two positions, our Maintenance Committee Chair and our Fundraising Chair.  Read the rest of this entry →
