From the Registrar: July 31, 2026

Hello Gardeners,

Garden jury: We will move the garden juries to Sunday this week due to the forecast for rain on Saturday. There will be a garden jury at each garden this Sunday, 8/2 at 8 am. There will be two groups at EH and one at UH, each with four volunteers. The groups will meet at the sheds. Please reply to this email if you would like to sign up for a garden jury.

• The garden jury is a jury of peers that assesses plot conditions. The juries report plots that appear excessively weedy or abandoned. There are four gardeners on each jury. The weed juries also remove communal tools and carts left behind plots.

• Juries are scheduled every other weekend. Garden jury is counted as workday time. Gardeners can sign up for three jury sessions or combine jury time with alternative independent workday time for their three-hour workday requirement.

Weed fences and borders: Many of the borders between plots at both gardens are very overgrown with weeds. All plots are responsible for keeping the borders weeded all the way to the edges. If you have a fence, it must be cleaned as well. Invasive plants like bindweed can cover a fence in a short time, and fences need to be weeded frequently. If you have climbing plants like squash, check to make sure they stay in your plot and don’t climb over a fence or into your neighbor’s plot or into the border area.
Thanks, and happy gardening,

Lily
