Only COGS members can have plots at these gardens. COGS is responsible for the gardens - we pay for insurance and have formulated a basic set of rules. Each garden has a Convenor, Treasurer and Plot allocator - all elected by the members of that garden. This is now operational and the general public can see what organic growing is all about. Events are held there and we have school groups visiting.
COGS holds a monthly meeting with invited speakers.
Occasionally we have a panel of experts taking questions, and a quiz night. COGS has an extensive web site which has been operational for two years. Members receive the Quarterly and a monthly Flier. A copy of the COGS Quarterly is sent to BOGI and other organic growers organisations.
