From the Registrar: May 25, 2022

 Hello Gardeners,   

 

How the gardens are run: The gardens are run by the gardeners. We have a Garden Committee that meets the second Wednesday of every month via Zoom to discuss policies and plans. All gardeners that are interested are welcome to participate! The Gardens are on UW property, so we do have some policies dictated by the University, but most things related to the Gardens come from the Committee.  

The Gardens have a few part-time employees: A registrar and some garden workers. The registrar does administrative work: assigning plots, answering questions, and explaining the rules. The garden workers take care of the Gardens: doing maintenance and leading workdays. Which brings us to the next subject: 

 

The Gardens are looking for another garden worker! Here is a message from co-chairs Jessica and Ninja about the position:
