Category: Stockpiles

A new schedule will be posted every Friday for the following week.

Anchor Gardens makes these resources available to gardeners every week until Solstice. We ask for a donation to help us cover the costs and to continue to make these resources available for free to anyone who needs it.

We have a great group of volunteers that will help manage the stockpile, answer questions, and help. We got a dumptruck load of topsoil from Green Earth Landworks!

Please only access the stockpiles when we are open only. Thank you and Happy Gardening!!

Resources include TOPSOIL, fresh horse manure, wood chips, free seeds, seedlings, pots, gardening books, tools and more!!!

Stockpiles open Memorial Day Weekend! (and will run through mid June or we run out!)

We will have volunteers manage the stockpiles and be available for questions and help. Donations are encouraged to help us cover the costs of bringing these resources to Anchor Gardens gardeners. Donations are not mandatory but they help us to be able to give away the resources to anyone who is unable to pay. Anchor Gardens believes everyone should be able to garden irregardless of economics. We want to help remove the obstacles to grow your own food! Every donation allows us to achieve this goal!

If you would like to volunteer at the stockpiles we will host a training on Friday, May 22nd from 6-7pm or Sunday May 24th from 11-12pm.

The Anchor Gardens stockpile is located at 14th & I St. across the alleyway from City Market New Sagaya. The entrance is accessed from the alley. Bring your own buckets. We will have shovels available!

The stockpile hours will be posted every Thursday (for the upcoming week) except for this first week. We will add days as we get more volunteers trained to open and manage the resources, So check regularly as the hours will change daily:)
