Diana, Hi, this is a case where bylaws would come into play. The main reason for having bylaws is to avoid conflict. Some things can be foreseen, such as pets in the garden and folks who abandon plots. Some things cannot be foreseen and having everyone agree not to plant or harvest others plots can be added. Some gardens have value statements and ask that all gardeners agree to be inclusive, respectful of personal space, and to refrain from behavior that makes others feel uneasy in the garden.
Lots of people get tossed out of community gardens. Adam Honigman, may he rest in peace, always said Community Gardens are 90% politics and 10% gardening. good luck, -fgc On Mon, May 20, 2013 at 12:53 PM, Diana Johnson <[email protected]>wrote: > > Good Morning, > > My name is Diana Johnson and I manage a community garden here in > Campbell California. > > I wanted to get your feedback on an unusual situation that is occurring > in our community garden.
