Cypress Community Garden operates under a garden permit issued by the City of Vancouver.
The garden is open to Vancouver residents only.
The garden is currently administered by a four member Coordinating Committee, two representatives for each of the five sections, and representatives for the common-area gardens at the east and west ends of the garden. Additional positions will be developed as the need arises.Each plot is approximately 3’ x 12’ (1 x 4 m).
An annual membership fee of $30 pays for metered water, maintenance of fences and the water system, tools, association membership(s) and other related expenses. Membership fees are due November 1st of each year or upon acceptance into the garden (for new memberships). Membership Guidelines and Rules must be signed each year by members to renew/obtain their plot. One garden meeting is held each year at the SPEC Building (Maple Street & 6th Avenue) to discuss general business and garden concerns. Two general garden clean-up parties, as well as section work parties, are held each season to maintain the common areas of the garden. Members are expected to participate in three garden clean-up parties (two general, one section) each year. In addition, community garden members should be prepared to volunteer some extra time to the garden (e.g. being a section rep, taking minutes at meetings, doing additional garden maintenance or improvements, working on special projects, etc.).
