Yarducopia is an exciting organic community gardening project of the non-profit Alaska Community Action on Toxics in Anchorage, Alaska. Yarducopia connects landowners, who donate yard space and tools, with people who have time to spend in a Garden.  ACAT trains the volunteers to build regenerative, organic gardens and meets with them during the growing season to problem solve any growing concerns.  The homeowner and volunteers split the produce grown, saving ten percent to be given to a charity of their choice.  It is one part Neighborhood Supported Agriculture, one part co-op, one part gardening club and two parts community garden. This project beautifies local neighborhoods, provides a new way to volunteer and be involved in the local green and food movements, and produces local, organic food and flowers to a diverse income group.

Sign up here if you are looking for space to garden in and want to participate in Yarducopia.  Please provide your house number along with your street so that we can find you the nearest match.  We will work to match you with a homeowner with available yard space in your neighborhood, and if we find a match, together we will build a lush and fertile garden.  We may not find matches for everyone, but we will do our best!

Note:  There is a $20 fee to participate as a gardener, this helps us cover the costs of seeds and vegetable starts and garden instruction! Need-based fee waivers are available on request.
