OC Endorsed Guidelines
- Be Respectful - Treat plants and the people who planted them with respect.
- Keep our garden beautiful - if you see any weeds or trash, deal with them, pick them out.
- Join the Mason Gardens Plant Society Facebook group – the group has been established as a space for gardening enthusiasts in Mason Sq. To share their experience, thoughts and engage in discussion on veggie patch topics.
- Join the discussion & sub-committee - if you want to plant something consider joining in the discussion and discussing with the sub-committee group.
- Planting Check-In - Deliberately planted plants should not be removed by any member unless objectively unusable. Check-in with active garden members if you can remove and plant in the space, so to avoid any disappointments. If there is no space, you may have to wait until a crop is grown.
- Share the bounty - Being an active participant in the planting and maintenance of the veggie patch entitles you to a share. Also, if you take some, plant some. Please refrain from harvesting for sale or more than your apartment needs.
- Mindful of the Watering System - the garden beds have a water drip system, when digging up soil always be sure to not slice open tubes, if you do, notify BM immediately to ensure the system is turned off.
- No Chemicals - Using fertiliser such as Seasol or Osmocoat is fine but no unnecessary chemical sprays. If in doubt, ask other community members in the Mason Gardens Plant Society Facebook group.
