Welcome Anchorage neighbors!

Our mission is to make gardening resources and expertise accessible to everyone in the Municipality of Anchorage (Chugiak to Girdwood) regardless of income or home ownership status.

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.
