Becoming a member of the garden is one of the best ways you can support our work.
Member responsibilities
Although anyone can work in the garden as a volunteer, 6BC members have special responsibilities as stewards of this urban greenspace. The most important is to
- act as the garden's monitor during scheduled open hours (at least twice a year)
Members are also required to
- attend garden meetings (usually monthly in the summer)
- take part in work days and contribute to the maintenance/administration of the garden
- pay annual dues ($25)
Member benefits
The main member benefit is personal access to the garden. Once you have completed the membership prerequisites, you will receive a garden key so that you can visit and work in the garden on your own schedule.
This access will be revoked if you don't continue to fulfill your responsibilities.
