Subscriptions
Every owner and resident of Canynge Square is invited to pay an annual subscription to the CSGC to enable the maintenance and improvement of the garden and to support the events organised by the CSGC.
Bristol City Council own the garden and are responsible for its upkeep, but this only includes very basic maintenance. In order for us to keep the garden looking beautiful, in keeping with its heritage and useful for hosting our events, we need to spend additional money. The subscription fee contributes to tree maintenance, planting of new flowers and shrubs, garden furniture and upkeep of gates and railing. Much of the labour required is supplied by volunteers from our community but occasionally we have to employ professionals.
The CSGC organise a series of events in the garden every year and it is the aim that they are largely self-funded. This means planning and preparation by volunteers from the community and occasional ticketed events that attract a nominal fee. Some larger events require a fixed contribution, for which we use a small portion of the subscription fee.
The subscription fee is not compulsory but necessary in order for us to fully enjoy the aesthetic and function of the garden for our community.
There are 3 subscription fee options below, please select the one that applies to you. If you prefer to pay by alternative methods or have any questions about subscriptions please write to the committee here.
Thank you for your contribution.
