 ==== Proposed Rule Changes to Discuss ====

-Possible changes:

-  - Trees in the Ground
-=== Trees in Pots ===
+The following rule change was approved by the Garden at the July meeting and must be posted for 30 days and confirmed in order for it to become an official Garden Rule.
-Should trees be allowed in pots raised off the ground with at least 3 inches of airflow underneath?
-Language from last month's meeting: //Trees in pots only. Pots raised off the ground. Includes possible guest speaker on air-pruning. (This prevents trees from growing through pots into ground.)//

+**No trees can be planted in the ground within the garden plots.** Trees can be grown in pots, but pots must be raised off the ground with at least 3 inches of air flow underneath, in order to prevent potted trees from rooting into the ground. The overall 5 foot height limit still applies.

 == Sample Guidelines ==
-The tree committee has started a list of acceptable trees--plants that can either be maintained as shrubs or at levels that do not negatively affect the garden community. Possible rules include a trunk size limit, and minimum distance from the walkway pavers. The 5 foot height restriction would still apply. The tree list is based on various factors, including root systems, growth potential, etc. Permission will be granted to the gardener if their tree planting meets the guideline restrictions and they sign (either in paper or electronically) an acknowledgement that they are familiar with the rules and will abide by them. This will also include an acknowledgement that once a plant has grown larger than the allowable trunk size, they will remove it from the ground. In regards to height, this could be applied to repeat height violations (which would demonstrate an incapacity of the gardener to maintain a "potential tree" within their plot). Permission could be acquired from the board, perhaps, and in cases that are not covered by the existing guidelines, consultation with the tree committee can be requested.
