To become a community member/key-holder or to learn about volunteering, come by the garden on any Sunday afternoon from April through mid-November, between 1 and 4 PM to speak with a gardener and get a key.
GUIDELINES FOR COMMUNITY MEMBERS / KEY-HOLDERS

A key-holder may use the garden only for activities appropriate to visiting a garden.
No one may enter a plot or remove items from a plot without permission from the gardener who tends the plot.
The front gate must be pulled closed and locked when entering and leaving the garden, except for Sundays between 1 and 4 PM when the garden is open to the public.
The garden will be open only during daylight hours.

You may download and print out an application to become a community member/key-holder (PDF format). Please note: This application must be returned in person to the gardener on duty on any Sunday, from April through mid-November, between 1 and 4 PM at the Lotus Garden.
Key-holders are requested to do their fair share when it is obvious that something needs to be done, such as picking up paper or other debris that has blown into the garden. Additionally, key-holders are responsible for trying to notify the garden if they are aware of a serious problem, such as a broken lock or fallen tree, etc. We appreciate everyone's cooperation in making the garden a safe, enjoyable experience for all visitors!
