Garden Rules and Regulations

The garden area is land owned by the Canadian Red cross that has been leased to the Sault Ste. Marie Horticultural Society for the benefit of the Allard Street Community Garden membership.

To ensure satisfactory use of the garden area, garden policies have been implemented.

NEIGHBOURLINESS

Please respect your fellow gardeners. Do not expand beyond your designated area.  individual fencing of plots is not allowed.  Try to be considerate and not shade neighbouring gardeners' plots with very tall plants.  keep the pathways clear of litter and weeds.

Any member who verbally harasses or physically threatens another member may be expelled from the garden membership by the Steering Committee.

Do not pick anything from neighbouring gardener's plots.  You MUST have PERMISSION.  Without permission, this action is considered stealing.

Keep insects and weeds under control.                          

-  No digging for worms anywhere in the garden!

Children are welcome but please supervise so they do not disturb other plots.  You will be responsible financially for any damage or losses.  Members may invite visitors to the community garden as long as they assume responsibility for escorting them through the garden.  Please ensure that all toys belonging to the Allard Street Community Garden are left either in the Children's sandboxes or returned to the Garden Shed.

No pets are allowed with the exception of Seeing Eye Dogs, in the community garden area.  In public area outside the garden gates, pets must be firmly leashed and kept to the pathways.  Members are responsible for any cleanup.
