Oakley Community Gardens’ mission is to beautify and enhance Oakley and surrounding areas, by providing opportunities for gardeners to sustainably grow a wide variety of healthy foods.
Gardener's Code of Conduct
We aren't big fans of legalese and restrictions, but let's face it, we've got no choice but to set a few "ground rules".
Each Gardener will be required agree to the following Code of Conduct and sign a waiver of liability before a plot will be assigned.
Newly revised Gardener's Code of Conduct as of January 2022. All returning or prospective plotholders must read, sign, and return a copy of the signature page to the Garden Coordinator along with the appropriate fees. (Cash is preferred.)
The Oakley Seniors Citizens grievance policy will apply in the event that there is any disagreement that needs to be resolved. (unless or until replaced by an OCG specific grievance policy, the title "Farm Manager" in the policy is equivalent to our "Garden Coordinator", and "Operations Manager" is equivalent to our "Chair". Currently both positions are held by the same individual.)

We value your questions and comments about these commitments and regulations. For comparison sake, here are a few of the other community gardens rules we looked at, reviewed, and in some cases shamelessly plagiarized while formulating our code:
