ABOUT THE FENWAY VICTORY GARDEN SOCIETY
The Fenway Victory Gardens are self-governed by an incorporated, non-profit membership organization known as the Fenway Garden Society, Inc. (FGS). Membership in the FGS, along with being a Boston resident and accepting the Guidelines and Regulations for the Victory Gardens, is a prerequisite to gardening in the Victory Gardens. The FGS represents the gardeners in all dealings with third parties.

FGS members elect an Executive Board along with Area Directors for each of the park sections. General Membership meetings and periodic newsletters provide opportunities for participating in the decision-making process and keeping abreast of developments.

FGS MEMBERSHIP Application
When you accept membership in the Fenway Garden Society, Inc., you become one of the beneficiaries of a long and honored tradition: one that thousands of Boston gardeners who came before us worked hard to establish and preserve. They left a legacy of public good will and civic cooperation that you must be willing to enhance and protect for future generations of “Fenway victory gardeners.” Boston residents only which include: Boston Proper; Allston; Brighton; Charlestown; Dorchester; Hyde Park; Jamaica Plain; Mattapan; Mission Hill; Roslindale; Roxbury; and West Roxbury may download and send in an application.

MEMBERSHIP HAS ITS PRIVILEGES
Members each receive a FGS membership card at the beginning of the year to use as identification in the gardens and when taking advantage of special member discounts. The members of FGS also take part in annual elections of the FGS Executive Board and the Area Directors for each of the park sections. General Membership meetings are held every May and December providing opportunities for participating in the decision-making process and keeping abreast of developments. If you are a gardener in good standing, after one year you may submit an application for a second plot.

RENEWING YOUR MEMBERSHIP
Gardening privileges and plot assignments are not transferable and must be renewed each year. A membership renewal application will be sent to you early in the year. If it is returned as “address unknown” or “no forwarding address,” an attempt will be made to reach you by telephone. If unsuccessful, and we have no further information in writing, you will miss the renewal deadline, and the plot will be reassigned to a new gardener in early spring.

COMMUNICATING A CHANGE OF ADDRESS
For the above reasons, it is imperative that you communicate a new address to the FGS if you should move. You may send an e-mail to the membership officer online by clicking the contact link on home page’s top navigation.

THE 2009 EXECUTIVE BOARD
Board elections are held at the December General Meeting of FGS members. Nominations are to be sent to the nominating committee prior to the December meeting by calling (617) 267-6650 to ensure that all members have a fair opportunity to run for office. Nominations may also be made from the floor.
