PLOT ASSIGNMENT PROCESS:

All Plots will be assigned using a lottery system where city residents are drawn first for gardens on City of Plattsburgh property. Plattsburgh Housing Authority residents are drawn first for the PHA Garden.  Existing Garden Plot Holders who sign-up and pay for plots by the kickoff meeting will have priority and can keep existing plots (one plot per gardener, unless extra plots available). Each plot will be numbered.  Names will be drawn and assigned in numerical ascending order. In the event we have more applications than plots, only those names drawn from the hat will be assigned to a plot. Lottery Drawing takes place at or following our annual Spring Garden Kick-Off.
