Mousam Way Land Trust

Hosted by Mousam Way Land Trust
Directed by Community Garden Advisory Board

The purpose of this enterprise is to have an enjoyable, healthy, and successful experience. We ask that you think of your gardening neighbors and the garden while working here. Consider using the square foot gardening procedure to get the most out of a limited space. And please note that your plants need to be kept within the confines of your beds and out of the aisles.

Gardening tools, fertilizers, watering hoses and nozzles, produce cleaning sink, outdoor restroom, and table and chairs are available for gardeners and their guests to use. Garden Managers and Advisors, as well as many gardeners, are eager to provide advice and help. Applicants are expected to read, understand, and obey the General Policies, Rules, Waiver, and Photo Release as described on the application. Applications and Waivers must be completed and submitted to be considered for bed assignments. Gardeners are responsible for their guests and helpers. The Garden Advisory Board has final determination of all aspects of the Garden.
