Time to Renew

The Custer Community Organic Gardens' mission is to provide residents with an opportunity to come together for the purpose of food production, environmental education and to encourage multi-generational gatherings.

The city is ready to start taking rent payments for the 2011 gardening season, the plot rental fee will remain at $25/plot for the 2011 season. Current garden members have until April 15th to renew their plot to be assured of getting their last year’s plot number. New garden members can immediately start renting plots that were not rented last year or those plots that were turned back in by last year’s members.

People will be limited to renting only one plot until May 9th, but after May 9th they can rent two plots if unrented plots are still available. The plot rental/registration process will remain the same as last year however the Guideline Agreement has been amended to reflect new changes for 2011. You need to sign and date the 2011 Space Rental Contract at the city offices at 622 Crook Street and pay the $25 rental fee.

New Facebook Page

Come visit our new Facebook Page and provide us with your comments or concerns. Also, we are trying to compile a 2011 CCOG Members e-mail address database in order to keep members informed of events and situations as they arise, such as the date the water will be turned on, when we will be getting the compost, if we change the locks, etc. Please be sure to provide your e-mail address when filling out the Space Rental Contract so that we can get this information to you. All addresses will be kept private and secure.
