Annual UFPIA Garden Social Membership
Annual UFPIA Garden Social Membership
A UFPIA Garden Social Membership is available to non-gardeners. You must be an UFPIA or Associate member, have paid your UFPIA dues for the current calendar year ($10) and be at least age 18.
Garden Social Membership Dues are $10 per person or family for the calendar year. (Memberships purchased on our website include a fee to help offset the cost of online processing.)
If you’d like to pay via cash or check, contact Jan at communitygarden@upperfellspoint.org.
UFPIA Garden Social Membership Rules for Non-Gardeners
The UFPIA Garden Social Membership is available to those UFPIA members (including Associate members) who do not have a plot at the UFPIA community garden:
1. Non-gardener use of the UFPIA community garden green space is available to UFPIA members and Associate members if their current UFPIA dues have been paid and they are at least age 18. (Non-UFPIA members are not eligible.)
2. The cost for a Garden Social Membership is $10/year based on the calendar year beginning in January. The UFPIA Garden Social Membership includes one guest or one family. (This fee is subject to change periodically and proceeds benefit the community garden.)
3. Once your UFPIA membership has been confirmed and you have paid your Garden Social Membership dues you will be required to sign this waiver. Then one of the gardeners will give you a quick tour and the combination for the lockbox to the gate. Any loss of a gate key will be at your expense.
4. Visiting hours are from dusk to dawn and the garden is unavailable if there is a planned community activity taking place.
5. There is no access to working in the garden, use of the water, the shed, tools or the compost areas.
6. Non-gardeners must stay on the main walkway or in the grass areas.
7. Children are welcome; however, they must be supervised by an adult age 18+ at all times and must stay in the grass areas. No children are allowed to play in the pollinator garden or around individual plots or the garden beds.
8. No pets of any kind are allowed inside the UFPIA community garden or leashed outside at any time.
9. No items (including, but not limited to, flowers, produce, tools, etc.) may be removed from individual plots or the overall garden at any time.
10. No garden furniture may be moved; however, you are welcome to bring your own chair.
11. No smoking, alcohol or loud music is allowed at any time.
12. No more than 10 guests are allowed at one time.
13. When leaving, all trash, personal items, etc. must be removed at time of exit with the garden space left in a clean and orderly manner, gate locked and key returned to the lockbox.
14. Anyone found misusing the garden space will be subject to losing access and/or their Garden Social Membership/dues immediately.
15. The UFPIA Garden Committee will periodically review the above to determine its feasibility and continuation or make any changes (you will be notified).
