The Vancouver Community Garden Builders (the “Licensee”) is a social enterprise that has entered into a licence agreement with the landowner for the use of the land, acts as the garden manager (the “Garden Manager”) and administers these rules. Anyone who has land in the garden (called a “gardener”) must sign a gardener`s agreement with the licensee in which the gardener agrees to comply with these rules. Once a year, the garden manager invites all gardeners to an annual meeting to inform gardeners of any changes that have been made in the operation of the garden, these rules, in the allocation of plots to discuss problems or concerns. The Licence or Garden Manager will announce the Annual Meeting at least 14 days in advance in writing by email or first class mail. At each annual conference, an annual garden fee is due. 2.1 Risk Awareness.
