[Community_garden] Plot fees in your city?

[William Hohauser]

Our garden is $12 a year for a plot (includes a garden key) and $5  
for supporting membership but no key. We have roughly 80 active  
plots. Elderly members get a reduced rate. Local community  
organizations can get a free plot but it must be utilized. We can  
keep the rates low due to our active fundraising with grants,  
donations, t-shirt sales or events. All plot holding members must  
contribute 4 hours of community garden work per month and attend a  
minimum number of monthly garden meetings.
