Applying to Join us as a New Gardener
Application Instructions for New Gardeners at South Zone Community Garden – 2019
Here is how it works:
Your garden will require about 8-12 hours of your time each week throughout the summer (mostly in weed and grass control) - please consider the amount of time you have available prior to applying. A good option is to share with a friend for the first season as this will lighten the work load!
We start our waitlist for new gardeners on January 1st. We will know by mid-March how many plots we have available for 2019 and will allocate those plots to those on the waitlist, starting from the top. The waitlist is filled on a first-come, first-served basis. You will be put on the waitlist when we receive a complete application from you, so the earlier you apply, the more likely you are to get a garden plot. If you do not get a plot your cheque will be destroyed.
A complete application consists of:
1. Contact Details
-
Full name
-
Complete home address with postal code
-
Phone number/s – provide the one that is easiest to contact you with

2. Signed back sheet of the 2019 Garden Use Agreement (please don't send the whole GUA)

3. A post-dated cheque (Feb 28th, 2019) made out to South Zone Community Gardens, clearing indicating your name used in any previous correspondence with us. If it is difficult to send a cheque, please contact us by email.
