NYCCGC, LUNGS, and MORUS are holding a citywide town hall to discuss the license agreement.
Our gardens are being told to sign the four-year agreement, but we have heard concerns from community gardeners at meetings across the city.
We urge your garden NOT to sign this license at this time.
We are asking community gardeners to come together on Saturday for a town hall:
to discuss the issues
to formulate a united response
to develop a strategy
The new license contains many new regulations, restrictions, and obligations of gardeners. GreenThumb appears to be taking on the role of an enforcement agency rather than garden-friendly enablers. This change is disconcerting to gardeners who volunteer their time and spend their own money to maintain city property.
Click to review the new license and what has changed from the 2014 license terms.
It took the City more then four months to put this license together. Gardeners should be allowed more than one month to evaluate a document we are being asked to sign.
Gardens are being asked to sign this license starting on May 13. Again, we urge you not to sign the license.
Please discuss the new GreenThumb license terms with your membership. We are compiling the responses. Please share that with us at the town hall or send your garden’s licensing questions/issues to united@nyccgc.org.
