Rules and Regulations

Rules are given to all gardeners once they receive a plot...mainly, they want you to garden organically, and grow annuals. One very important rule for Blair is that gardeners pick up trash throughout the garden. Another important rule is that gardeners maintain the pathways around their plot by keeping the grass cut short, and keeping the weeds in their garden short, so as not to produce seed. The park service requires that each gardener grow no more than 15% ornamentals, as they don't want you to sell what you grow. For that matter, you can't grow that which is illegal in DC. We have an annual picnic.
