We Adopted By-laws Today

  • The Unified Garden Society is open to any Port employee, temp, contractor or consultant who wishes to participate.
  • Society decisions will be made democratically and with consensus. Society members are invited to attend monthly meetings for the purposes of coordination, education and democratic decision-making.
  • The Building Maintenance Coordinator is responsible for maintaining all code, safety and aesthetic standards for the Port Administration Building. To that end, the Building Maintenance Coordinator must approve all decisions made by the Society.
  • Society gardens must be maintained as organic and environmentally friendly.
  • Violators will be denied the opportunity to participate further in the Society.
  • Port employees are responsible for managing their time. All Society gardening must be done during non-work hours (before or after work, during lunches and breaks).
  • Society members must sign a waiver of liability before participating in any physical work.
