SZCGA RENTAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS 2023

It is your responsibility to read the "SZCGA" Terms and conditions before applying for a plot. Click the button below:

Gardens are inspected throughout the season (May through October).

Notices will be sent to gardeners if the agreed upon Terms and Conditions are not being met. Failing to take full action in the recommended timeline may result in penalties:

  • You may be required to take a smaller plot.
  • You may not be eligible for renewal next season.
  • You may be asked to leave.

SUBLETTING

    • In the event that the Registered Gardener does not garden the plot registered in that gardener’s name or a part of that plot and arranges for another party to garden the same, that plot will be considered to be sublet.

    •  To sublet a garden or a portion thereof the Registered Gardener must follow the terms of the subletting policy.  Note that subletting permission if granted is for the short term (one year basis)
