We want to see all your green thumbs and smiling faces again for 2014 growing season. In 2014, the preregistration of your 2014 plots is accomplished by our newly formed Telephone Committee’s individual phone calls in January.  Welcome to the several new gardeners who have preregistered.

 We have been able to complete the preregistration because of our following revised process.  

 1. Last year’s 2013 gardeners were contacted to confirm their return in 2014.

 2 New gardeners who have requested plots by e-mail were then confirmed preregistered if we have open plots.  

 3. Anytime during the process if there are no remaining open plots, a waiting list is started on a first come basis. Note (As of Feb 10, 2014 there is no waiting list. In fact we still have several open plots)
