Thank you for your interest with the San Ramon Community Gardens. Allotments are issued on a “first-come, first-served” basis. If an allotment is not immediately available, the individual’s name will be placed on a wait list. There will be two separate wait lists for Community Garden allotments; one for Residents and one for Non-Residents. Once the resident wait list has been exhausted, the non-resident wait list will be assessed and allotments assigned.
The fee schedule is listed below. In addition, a deposit will be held as a clean-up fee. When an allotment holder relinquishes an allotment, the deposit will be returned if the garden is free of all plants and ready for acquisition by a new gardener. Any fencing or raised beds may be left for the next gardener. There will be an annual review of rates per year dependent upon current water rates.
The rates are as follows:
SOUTH COMMUNITY GARDEN
Medium Rate: $38 Resident/$49 Non-Resident - per year Medium Deposit: $45
Large Rate: $70 Resident/$89 Non-Resident - per year Large Deposit: $60
Premium Rate: $98 Resident/$121 Non-Resident - per year Premium Deposit: $85
South Community Garden renters, in good standing, may rent more allotments, but are subject to full rental fees and deposits.
NORTH COMMUNITY GARDEN
Annual Fee: $268 Resident/$336 Non-resident Deposit: $150
North Community Garden: ONLY ONE allotment is authorized per household. A household constitutes immediate family (husband, wife, domestic partner, and dependent children) residing at one address. Non-family members who live at the same residence as an allotment holder may not secure a separate allotment. Those who are found in violation of this policy will have their allotment seized and no fees will be returned.
NOTE: Continuing Gardeners’ deposits will remain at the same amount and will roll over to the new year. No additional deposit will be required.
There will be NO PRORATIONS OR REFUNDS of the annual fee if any gardener chooses to relinquish their allotment during the gardening year and/or if any gardener is in violation of the policies and is dismissed from the gardens.
