Re: [cg] Question regarding Insurance for garden on State of NY property

Maureen, 

While folks often respond privately to e-mails emanating from the listserv, - 
because this is such a sheer, what, no insurance? the sky is falling, type 
crisis, I've gone public, in my usual tactless fashion, to get as much 
information to as many people in need of it as possible. 

There are 10,000 community gardens and a few hundred community garden 
organizations - in the spirit of the hundred monkeys in a room typing out the 
complete works of Shakespeare, eventually, in 25 years, I figure that one of us 
got 
it right. 

By sending this all points bulleting out in cyberspace, I hope that the 
person who did get it right e-mails us all back with the right answer. 

Best wishes, 
Adam Honigman

 Adam, 
I am new to the listserve and not sure if I am suppose to respond to 
 individual emails.To the best of my knowledge, there are 3 community 
 gardens 
 currently on DOT property.We have had to carry insurance for 8 years, 
 long before Green Thumb had their requirement.I know that GT will be 
 working 
 on this issue for city gardens, but I doubt that will include the state 
 gardens.   I am going to start working on this issue immediately.   I cannot 
 afford to be without insurance, the DOT strictly enforces the insurance 
 policy.   
  I am willing to work with any committee, but I've already started the 
 process.I will update the listserve as I have information to post.   
  thanks for your response, regards, Maureen

  Another note on the garden insurance crisis.  
 Maureen O'Boyle - we may have to set up a working group on insurance for 
 the community gardens. More later as we learn more and find insurance 
 carriers 
 who  will cover us.

 The 64th Street Community Garden in Brooklyn NY is actively seeking 
 a new
 contact/ issuer for garden insurance.   We are unique in that we are 
 located
 on State of New York, Department of Transportation land and have been 
 required
 to have garden insurance for the past 8 years.   The current carrier is not
 longer covering NYC gardens.   Any information would be greatly 
 appreciated.

Responding to an earlier question about companies that underwrite community
gardens, we get ours from Carolina Casualty via a group buying process
sponsored by our state association of non-profits.  They treat us as a
social service program, not a dangerous use of vacant properties.  That
helps.
