Paths

We ask that community gardeners help maintain the pathways surrounding their plots. Student gardeners may assist with this by lining the main pathways of the garden with mulch.

Gates

It is very important to always close gates behind you when entering or leaving the garden to keep critters out.

Tools

There are a few tools provided to gardeners. You may need to bring some of your own.

Pets

Please no pets in the garden, the Luther College Gardens have been GAP certified by the USDA. In this certification we cannot allow pets in the gardens. Past the tool sheds are some nice trees to leash dogs at in the shade.

Policies and Procedures/Waiver of Liability

Be sure to read Policies and Procedures and the Waiver of Liability and Hold Harmless Agreement carefully before applying for a community garden plot.
