Having read the updated email on garden insurance, I think most Green Thumb gardens feel a sense of relief and can wait out the winter. As a NY State DOT Green Thumb Garden site I am still very concerned about losing my site for lack of insurance. To the best of my knowledge DOT is not aware of this insurance issue. I am trying to get past the fact that NOSC allowed our policy to default without any correspondence. This was so socially irresponsible of them, and no written word or apology of any type has gone out. We have carried insurance via NOSC for the past 8 years as required by DOT. I need 1 million dollars in liability insurance now, not in the spring. I have spent a great part of last week and this week in contact with over 15 brokers with no luck . Today looks promising, but the initial quotes are well over $1,000 some as high as $1,500. We plan to purchase garden insurance for Nov05-Nov06, and then hopefully join forces with GT for a discounted insurance plan. If any other DOT gardens have successfully purchased insurance, please share this information with me. We are breaking our bank spending this type of money on insurance. Thanks, Maureen
