As this is a community garden, can I take produce from any plot?

No. Plots are assigned to successful applicants who pay for and tend a plot for a year. We ask that you do not take any produce from a plot unless it is clearly marked as a communal plot.

Dogs are allowed if they are on a leash and do not damage the plots. Service animals are always welcome.
