Guided Gardening with ABG

The Alaska Botanical Garden is offering a unique comprehensive guided gardening program for the 2019 growing season. Start your garden off right this year by growing your very own vegetable garden at ABG. Garden staff will mentor and guide participants throughout an entire growing season on choosing plants that grow best in this northern climate, preparing a rich fertile soil, managing for pests and disease, watering, and harvesting and preserving your crops.
