Community Garden Ground-Breaking Set

Sitka Community Gardens announces its long-awaited groundbreaking 1-1:30 p.m. Saturday, May 17, at the upper end of Jarvis Street.

All are invited to attend to learn more about the planned garden and membership structure, and to sign up for a plot. Volunteers are needed to help with the initial construction phase of the garden, which will begin immediately, organizers said.

Three demonstration plots are planned for this summer’s growing season, with full garden operation slated for 2026. Call 907 738-3557 or 907 738-1033 or email: transitionsitka@gmail.com for more information.
