Guidelines
Add water, sunshine and these friendly guidelines:
Garden plots are rented for a full calendar year. Current users are given the option to renew their existing plots before they are made available to other gardeners. THPRD provides irrigation for all community garden sites from mid-March through mid-October (weather permitting).
Gardeners must contribute and log a minimum of two (2) hours per year in service to the community garden program or other THPRD-related volunteer option.
The use of plastic and newspaper as mulch is not allowed.
The gardener provides their own equipment (hoses, tools, etc.). Other than small rototillers, motorized vehicles and equipment are not allowed in the garden.
It is the renter’s responsibility to maintain a weed-free garden. If you cannot maintain your space, call THPRD at 503-629-6300 so arrangements can be made for someone to take your place.
Flowers and produce may be grown for personal use only.
Please respect other gardeners’ spaces; do not pick vegetables, fruits or flowers that are not yours.
Please do your part to conserve water by hand watering plants before 10 am or after 6 pm. Help avoid water loss and report all leaks.
Gardeners will supervise children and are solely responsible for the behavior of guests.
No pets are allowed in the garden area, with the exception of service animals.
Tires. glass, and rocks are not allowed at the garden sites.
The use of chemical pesticides and herbicides is not allowed in THPRD gardens.
