Community and Other Garden Groups Support Across Alaska
We believe in supporting all of our gardening club friends, no matter where you’re located. Whether you’re a garden member in Homer, Anchorage, or any part of the Kenai Peninsula, our club is here to help you grow your gardening skills and share in the joy of gardening. That's also why each year we give away 10% of our budget via mini-grants. Be sure to check out our CPGC programs and Recent Events for tour photos, gatherings, meet-ups, and workshops that bring together green thumbs from all over our beautiful region.
Thank you for being a part of our growing community. We can’t wait to see what you’ll grow next!
Happy Gardening! 🌱🌸
