Guided Gardening - A Learning community supported
Agriculture (CSA) Program / June-September 2021

Join the Alaska Botanical Garden this summer for our Guided Gardening: A Learning Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) program!  We’re gathering up our horticultural expertise to dig deeper into the CSA model: in addition to receiving a share of fresh produce all summer, we invite you to take an active role in learning how the food on your table is grown, from seed to soup.
