Membership Forms
Hi Everyone!
Here are links to all of the forms you need to fill out if you want a garden plot this year.
The deadline for Forms is Feb 12th. We will operate on a first come first serve basis, with priority given to previous members. If we experience a high volume of applicants, new members will be selected using a lottery system. If you don't get a space, you can be put on a waiting list until a plot becomes available, or if we add an additional site.
Please read all of the forms carefully. We will not accept incomplete application packets. We will be voting on the dues at tomorrow's meeting so you will need to fill in where it says "fee"
Your completed application packet should include:
Contract
Waiver ( You do not need to sign one if you filled one out last year )
Photo Release form
A Check or cash for dues- Again, I will keep you updated on the amount we decide on at the meeting so please hold off on sending anything in until we have that information
Sorry, I know it's a lot of paperwork. Once we get past all of this, the fun can begin!

Bring a Bag For Change
Our wonderful local food co-op, The Common Market, has selected the Frederick Community Garden as a recipient for "Bring a Bag for Change." For every re-usable bag you bring shopping, you get a wooden nickel that counts toward a 5 cent donation to your choice of the selected non-profits.
Bring a bag for the FCGA and feel good about reducing waste and helping out in your community... at no cost to you!
