IMPORTANT NOTICE FOR POTENTIAL MEMBERS

As the project to rebuild all Adelphi Acre Community Garden raised beds nears completion, we are now accepting a limited number of new members for the fall 2022 planting season and will offer additional new memberships in early 2023.

If you have already signed up for our wait list, you will receive an email offering you a plot when your name has reached the top of the list. Please whitelist membership@adelphiacre.org AND plots@adelphiacre.org so you don’t miss any important emails about your position on the waitlist and future membership availability.

HOW IT WORKS

If you are a new-to-us gardener looking for a plot assignment, please read carefully!  Plots are leased on a yearly basis beginning in January and ending in December, when they are either renewed or released. After we register returning gardeners, we open up remaining plots to people on our wait list. Occasionally plots may become available during the year if a member has voluntarily released, or their membership has been revoked for a compliance violation, or the plot has been abandoned.

BEFORE SIGNING UP FOR A SPOT ON THE WAIT-LIST, PLEASE NOTE THE FOLLOWING:

1. Two [2] hours of Community Service time (per plot per month) must be given to participate in the Adelphi Acre Community Garden Program. These service hours can go towards either the maintenance of common areas in the garden or administrative tasks and DOES NOT include time spent on maintaining your personal plot and the 2’ perimeter around your plot. The community service hours are non-negotiable and part of the gardens License Agreement with the City of Austin.

2. AACG has a priority placement on the wait list for those within a 1.5 mile radius of the garden. Beyond the radius all requests are addressed on a first-come, first-served basis. Please check your address in the map link provided to determine whether you fall inside or outside the priority zone, and be sure to indicate this in the form request.

Read the rules and regulations, as they will be enforced. Then ask yourself, is Community Gardening for me?
