Category: Stockpiles

(We would love more volunteers to be able to open more often 🙂 

The I St Community Garden is our only stockpile location so far, located at 14th & I St. Access from alley way next to City Market.

Stockpiles schedule this week (we will continue to update often):

Thurs May 29th 4-6pm
Fri May 30th. 4:30-7:30pm
Sat May 31st. 12:30-2:30pm
Sun June 1st 12-2pm an 6-8pm

Resources include: 

• topsoil (limit 55 gal or the size of a washing machine)
• composted manure (almost gone)
• mushroom substrate (limit 4 bags /car load)
• free tomatoes!!! Take as many as you want 🙂
• a few pots of different sizes

Due to many generous donors we are able to purchase some resources and make them available to Anchor Gardens. IMPORTANT!! Our stockpiles are managed differently than the Yarducopia Midtown Garden Depot (2930 Cheechako Dr). Yarducopia’s Depot is open 7 days/week from roughly 9-9pm and all resources are free.

Anchor Gardens stockpiles are supported by donation to help us keep this program going and to support the work of Anchor Gardens. We buy the topsoil from Green Earth Landworks and composted manure from Dave Henke. Our stockpiles are free to those who need it. Please consider donating to https://anchorgardens.org/donate/ to help keep these resources available to Anchorage. 

Stockpiles are only available when there is a volunteer to open them. WHY?? So we can answer questions you may have about Lasagna Gardens, Anchor Gardens, and to help load materials. We need more volunteers to be able to open the stockpiles more often. Contact Theresa at 907-947-8217.
