What we are
By The Plot is a non-profit organization Community Gardens, Shop and Education Center.
Plots are leased on a seasonal 3-month rotation on a income-based sliding scale.
This is to ensure that homeless and low-income families have the opportunity to grow
their own food. For a family on foodstamps this can dramatically stretch those valuable
food dollars as a well tended plot, or two, can keep a family in fruit and vegetables
year-round. A certain number of plots are reserved exclusively for this population.
All other members plots are available on a First Come, First Served basis.
| Lease Seasons | Sliding Scale | |
|---|---|---|
| Spring: March 1 - May 31 | Res 0 - 1: Free | |
| Summer: June 1 - August 31 | Res 2: $50 per season | |
| Fall: September 1 - November 31 | Res 3: $100 per season | |
| Winter: December 1 - February 28(29) | Res 4*: $200 per season |
All money from lease fees, shop sale and classes are put back into the organization to cover costs of operating such as the utility bill, seed stock, tool and ground maintenance.
