Each community garden plot comes with a requirement of garden work hours throughout the entire growing season that will support the maintenance and attractiveness of the Putney Community Gardens. These hours do not include the time spent in one’s own garden plot.
Gardeners are required to complete half their work hours inside the garden specifically on community garden tasks. Navigate here to find a list of tasks that qualify as in- or out-of-garden work. Our login system will categorize each task automatically. If you do a task not listed, there are two options in the login system to input “in-garden” and “outside garden” tasks.
See a list of task descriptions here to choose from at any time (or during work parties when specific tasks are necessary to complete) or pick from any others jobs that might be advertised throughout the season. You may even create work; provided a Steward approves it. Some tasks will be open to teams, with a pre-approved amount of hours. Visit our Task Proposals page for instructions and a Form to submit to a Garden Steward.
