Welcome Anchorage neighbors!
Our mission is to make gardening resources and expertise accessible to everyone in the Municipality of Anchorage regardless of income or home ownership status. To accomplish our mission, we support all Municipal neighborhoods from Eklutna to Portage.
We connect individuals and their skills into a network for the purpose of building social capital through gardening.
To achieve this mission, a team of coaches volunteer their time to mentor anyone who wants to garden. Coaches support their neighbors with:
- garden design
- troubleshooting
- access to resources (seeds, nursery pots, compost, etc)
- connections to a community working to improve food security in Anchorage
Join to find a coach in your neighborhood
Additionally, pop up classes, demonstration gardens, seed libraries and upcycling campaigns are underway. We are working to reduce, reuse and repurpose across our local food system.
May is Alaska Native Plant Month!
Alaskans celebrate Native Plant Month in May 2025! Check out the Alaska Native Plant Month Celebration site which has a calendar of events, self-guided plant walks, curriculum materials for teachers, media kit, and other resources that can be used in May and throughout the year.
We’re still working on classes and workshops for the 2025 season!
Check our Facebook Page or the Calendar for dates when we have planned classes. We usually offer composting, vermicomposting, and lasagna garden bed making classes starting in the Spring.
