Wells Street Community Garden Charter

The Camdenville Paddock Community Garden's draft Charter and Guidelines ensure that co-operation and understanding exists amongst participants for the enjoyment of all who wish to use the Garden. If you would like to become a Member of the Camdenville Paddock Community Garden, we encourage you to read on. 

  1. Membership of the Camdenville Paddock Community Garden entitles participation in the Garden's activities, according to the Guidelines and Charter. 
  2. Plot allocation and waiting lists are managed by the Garden Committee and plots are allocated on a 'first come' basis. 
  3. If a plot is not maintained for a period of three months, it will be re-allocated to the next person on the waiting list.
  4. To avoid forfeiting the right to use a plot, all fees are to be paid on time, as set out in the Guidelines.
  5. Participation in the Camdenville Paddock Community Garden includes overall Garden maintenance. We ask members to contribute at least one hour per month to general site maintenance, in addition to tending personal plots.
  6. We aim to use organic gardening principles, however flexibility exists in certain circumstances. Where it is not possible to follow organic principles, this may be varied in consultation with the garden community.
  7. If disputes arise, they are settled through calm discussion and goodwill, according to the garden's grievance procedures.
  8. Tools are used in a safe manner so as not to create a personal hazard or a hazard for other members.
  9. The Garden is to be kept secure, and the last to leave is responsible for ensuring entrances and on-site buildings are locked.
  10. Participation in the Camdenville Paddock Community Garden is at members' own risk. The Community Garden and committee members are not liable for any injury to members, invited family and friends, or for loss of possessions.
  11. Respect the garden. While visitors are welcome, it is the responsibility of Members to ensure that visitors respect the Garden and its Guidelines and Charter.
