 ==== Proposed Rule Changes to Discuss ====
-Current tree rule:
+Previous tree rule:
 <file>17. No Trees can be planted or grown in the garden plots.</file>
-Possible changes:
-  - Trees in Pots
-  - 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.)//
+Pending tree rule:
-(Sadie's) Proposed rule: **Trees can be grown in pots, but pots must be raised off the ground with at least 3 inches of air flow underneath.**
+**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. The measure point of the 5 foot height limit is based from the brick pavers upward. "Trees" refer to "trees and/or other potentially tall plants with deep/extensive root systems" that are classified as trees for the purposes of the Mānoa Community Gardens.
+The following discussion was tabled for the next meeting:
+Possible changes:
+  - Trees in the Ground
-=== Trees in the Ground ===
 Should trees be allowed in the ground? (Following a set of guidelines determined by the tree committee.)
-Language from last month's meeting: //Tree in ground, Ask PERMISSION to plant EACH tree. To ensure that the gardener will be a RESPONSIBLE tree manager. Approval must be given* before planting.\\
+Language from June Garden Meeting: //Tree in ground, Ask PERMISSION to plant EACH tree. To ensure that the gardener will be a RESPONSIBLE tree manager. Approval must be given* before planting.\\
 *Tree list determined by a committee. What is a tree vs. what is a shrub? Anyone can volunteer to be on the committee.//
-(Sadie's) Proposed rule: **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.\\
+Sample proposal presented at July Meeting:
-***Exception: Gardener can request permission to plant specific trees within garden plots, agreeing to follow guidelines created by the tree committee. This agreement assumes that once a tree is no longer in compliance with the guidelines, the gardener will agree to remove the tree from the 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. The measure point of the 5 foot height limit is based from the brick pavers upward. "Trees" refer to "trees and/or other potentially tall plants with deep/extensive root systems" that are classified as trees for the purposes of the Mānoa Community Gardens.\\
+***Exception:** Gardeners can request permission to plant specific "trees" that can be maintained as shrubs within garden plots, agreeing to follow guidelines created by the tree committee. This agreement assumes that once a plant is no longer in compliance with the guidelines, the gardener will agree to remove it from the ground.
+Other possible language:
+**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.\\
+***Exception:** Gardener can request permission to plant specific shrubs/small trees within garden plots, agreeing to follow guidelines created by the tree committee. This agreement assumes that once a shrub is no longer in compliance with the guidelines, the gardener will agree to remove the shrub from the ground before it turns into a tree.

-Proposal 2. **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.\\
