These are the instructions for Membership Renewal for May 1, 2026 through April 30, 2027. 

Please note that due to increased cost of trash, water, manure, gate motor replacement, etc., the Board voted unanimously to increase the dues by $20. The new fee is $180 annually (essentially $15/month). Dues were last increased five (5) years ago.

Follow the steps listed below to successfully complete the renewal process.

1. Read the updated Rules & Agreements

2. Fill out the attached contract COMPLETELY—you must sign.

3. Include a copy of Proof of Residency such as utility bill, deed, home insurance or other acceptable  documentation with name and address clearly indicated (current within the last 3 months).

4. Include a copy of your driver’s license showing name and address; you may black out the license number.

5. Include a check or money order (must be signed on front) payable to LBCGA for $180.00 (no cash) plus any desired donation which can be allocated for a specific project or as needed.

6.    Mail the contract, proof of residency copy, driver’s license copy and check or money order in an envelope (not provided) – either by US Postal Service or in the garden mailbox in front of the small barn in the orchard.

When your renewal package has been received and approved you will be mailed one or two vehicle sticker(s) depending on how many vehicle passes/gate openers are paid for according to LBCGA records. Place the new sticker over the old sticker on the currently assigned tag(s). Copies of your license and utility bill will be placed in secure files.

The Annual Membership Meeting for all members will be held under the garden gazebo on Saturday, April 4, 2026 at approximately 9:40 A.M. immediately following the last work party of our garden year. We hope you attend. Let’s have a wonderful 2026/27 garden year! 

If you have any questions, please call Treasurer/Renewal Coordinator Carol at (562) 343-3326.
