Community Garden

A community garden is provided by the Library and Recreation Department in the Community Park of Val Vista. The garden consists of 34 full-size plots, each measuring approximately 225 square feet. As of January 1, 2011, seven (7) additional, smaller patches were added, measuring about 100 square feet, bringing the total number of patches to 41. 

Gardeners are responsible to maintain their garden park and adjacent paths throughout the year (weeding and mulching with woodchips). Weeds, diseased plants, garbage and debris must be kept free from patches and paths at all times. Vines and other plants can not invade pathways. Gardeners must aim to follow organic and ecological gardening standards and at all times prevent the use of chemical fertilizers, pesticides and herbicides. 

Sustainable gardening means the careful use of resources to preserve the garden forever. Sustainable practice includes water conservation, soil protection by means of mulch, manure and composting, and natural pest control–barriers, trapping and the attracting of beneficial insects.

No irrigation system changes are allowed. If the gardener is not present in the garden, the irrigation system may not be installed. Timers are not permitted; when not in use and when the community garden area is empty, spigots must be switched off. Both gardeners can if possible, use water conservation techniques like painting with paw, leaves or grass clippings and soakers or irrigation pants.
