SOUTH END LOWER ROXBURY OPEN SPACE LAND TRUST – BOSTON, MA FUNDING & OPERATIONS
Each of the community gardens elects or appoints a representative to the SELROSLT board. The board elects a president from membership. The president is a part-time position, focussed on day to day operations of the gardens, coordination with the City of Boston and membership. The individual community gardens send plot fees to the Land Trust to pay city property taxes, liability insurance, and water service. Individual gardens are intended to be democratically self-governing, and the form of governance varies from garden to garden. Some gardens elect a coordinator, or two coordinators; others elect a leadership committee.
