Hello Garden Members!
With Fall quarter approaching I’d like to remind everyone about the limitations and requirements in place at our beautiful garden. Santa Barbara County is in Stage 3, but there are still many guidelines we must follow to ensure the safety of all gardeners. COVID-19 is still present and spreading in our community. Please make sure to abide by these guidelines when you are at the garden. Thanks!
1. 6' distance - Every person must maintain 6 feet of distance at all times.
2. Masks - You are required to bring a mask to the garden. You are required to wear a mask when indoors (Greenhouse and Sheds) and when within 6 feet of another person. Masks are recommended at all times. If you do not have a mask one can be provided for you, if you ask.
3. Gatherings - There should be no more than 2 people at one plot at one time, young children are the only exception. Please refrain from hosting social gatherings at the garden.
4. Tools - Wipe down every tool you use before and after use. There is Clorox spray and paper towels in the member shed that should be used on all tools. Focus on wiping the handles and all surfaces you touch.
Additionally, there is hand sanitizer provided in the public shed that we encourage everyone to use.
If you are sick or have been exposed to COVID-19 stay home. If you are worried about your plants you can ask a friend or a staff member, like myself, to take care of them while you recover and quarantine for at least two weeks.
Symptoms of COVID-19 include, but are not limited to; fever, chills, fatigue, loss of taste or smell, sore throat, shortness of breath and coughing. It takes 2-14 days for symptoms of COVID-19 to appear but the illness can be spread two days before symptoms appear and 10 days after the last symptom goes away.
