Waitlist Procedures for a New Bed

Bed rental is first come first serve. 

At that time, you can register immediately for any open bed (two maximum per registrant) by following the registration instructions above. If you want a specific bed that is not available, you may join the electronic waitlist for that bed, if you have not already.  You can also waitlist yourself for multiple beds.

Once logged in to the WSCR.ca Community Garden Event registration page, select “Add Ticket”, and click “Join Waitlist” for each bed you are interested in renting.      

Now you are on the electronic waitlist. You and all other wait-listed people on that bed number will automatically be notified by email that the bed has become available. 

When notified the bed is available, login to the system, select the Garden Registration Event, and choose to either "Add Ticket" (if you have not already rented a bed for the season) OR choose “Modify Registration” (if you have already rented for the season).  

Select the bed you have been waiting for (unless someone else got there first) and choose to “Add Ticket.” You will need to cancel any bed you rented and no longer want and "Remove" it. Before you “Remove” your old bed from registration ensure you have successfully registered and paid for the new bed.  

If you are unable to select or pay for an available or cancelled bed, it means another person was quicker in securing that bed.

Cancellation Policy:

If you need to cancel your bed rental, please log into the system, select the Community Garden Event, and click on "Modify Registration".  Your current bed rental should appear.  To the right select "Remove" and your registration will be cancelled.  A refund will be automatically processed to your credit card.

Refunds will only be given for cancellations received before April 16th.  Otherwise, refunds will only be issued if the bed is rented to another member for the season.  

Should you have to cancel, you are responsible to clean your bed, emptying it of any plants and roots for the next gardener.

For more information, please email communitygarden@wscr.ca.
