The annual registration fee is $47, and a refundable cleaning deposit of $25 is required. Although not strictly organic, the use of pesticides is discouraged, and herbicides are not permitted. Water, hoses, wheelbarrows and some toolsare provided. The "garden center" includes a tool shed, picnic table, community herb and flower plots, and a kid's fun plot. Work parties are held monthly during good weather; all garden tenants are expected to help out with maintaining the common areas.
