REQUIRES SIGNED AGREEMENT:

OUR PART:
We will perform the initial till and all plots will be staked for easy identification. In-ground water connections with an access key will be supplied. An area for plant debris will be clearly designated and emptied periodically, and removed at the end of the season by the Parks Department. Also, a trash can will be provided for non degradable items. Please do not put yard waste in trash can. All participants, existing and new, will be contacted by phone or email for a sign-up day at the Community Garden location in mid March. New participants can look over available plots and receive a water key. Then you will be contacted again when plots are ready for use.
YOUR PART:
You must be a City of St. Charles resident. Bring your seed and seedlings, your planting tools and hoses and have fun!
