St Augustine Beach Community Garden Membership Agreement __________________________________ Name of Member Mission Statement: The purpose of the St Augustine

Beach Community Garden is to organize interested St Augustine Beach and Anastasia Island residents into a membership-based group that works together to perform gardening activities and create opportunities for social interaction. Our objective is to produce healthy organic food, to lower our carbon footprint, to master the art of gardening through collaborative learning, and to promote sustainable living. The City of St Augustine Beach, the landowner, approved a License for Limited and Temporary Use of City Property (Use Agreement) that authorizes St Augustine Beach Community Garden, Inc. (SABCG), a Florida Non-Profit Corporation, to operate a community garden within a specific area between A Street and 1st Street, on 2nd Avenue. The Use Agreement requires SABCG to install and maintain a perimeter fence and carry liability insurance. The liability insurance requires the community garden to operate as a membership-based group (Member(s)). The Use Agreement requires SABCG to keep the Garden in good order. The SABCG Board of Directors (Directors) is authorized by SABCG to act as its executive agent. There are two membership options available: an Affiliate Membership and a Garden Box Membership. Membership dues are paid in biannual (2) payments, half due by January 31st and the other half by July 31st of each year (Membership Dues).
