Ketchikan Community Gardens are a network of cooperative & demonstrative gardens that build connection, increase food resiliency and knowledge, and are used in a collaborative way for food education and awareness. Learn how to plan a raised garden bed, build your own worm bins, and harvest your bounty, or stop by our seed vaults to get your garden growing. We offer workshops on many topics, and hope that these gardens become a community hub for food knowledge sharing and skill building.
