Austin-Travis County moved to Stage 3 of the Austin Public Health COVID-19 Risk-Based Guidelines on March 13, 2021. AACG has updated our visitor and volunteer guidelines accordingly. AACG Stage 3 Guidelines are as follows:

• Practice good hygiene (wash hands frequently, stay home if sick)
• Maintain social distancing
• Wear face covering
• Volunteers are only permitted in areas outside of the fence (e.g., Oak Grove, Orchard)
• Group size is limited to 10
• Adults 18-65 and children under 18 are permitted to volunteer

While gardening is inherently a socially-distanced activity, you may occasionally find yourself in an area where you are unable to maintain a safe distance from others. Therefore, we ask that all members and visitors, regardless of vaccination status, keep a facemask with them whenever they are at the garden.
