Garden plans:
We are expecting to be able to use the gardens this summer. We have developed guidelines to minimize risk which we have provided to public health. We don't expect news on that for a bit though. In the event we aren't able to use the gardens we will offer a refund of fees.
We have developed some gardening rules and guidelines. These are now posted on the web site, and of course, are subject to change as the situation evolves.

Financial hardship refund of fees
If you've been financially impacted and need your garden fees back, we will return your fees and let you use the garden plot for free. Usually we don't provide refunds, we've made an exception for this year.
So for this year, you can send a request to treasurer@ykgardencollective.org and request a financial hardship return of your fees. Include your plot number. The request should be sent from the email address that paid the fee. If you paid by PayPal, the fees will be refunded via PayPal.

Weledeh school garden program
We don't expect that the school garden buddy program will occur this year. If it is cancelled, we will waive the criminal records check requirement for this garden and we'll expect the garden plot holder to use the 1/4 plot allocated to the school program and donate the proceeds, the same way the other garden sites do.
