Midtown Community Garden

The Midtown Community Garden and Midtown Garden Depot (click here for Depot info) share a fenced commercial lot at 2930 Cheechako Street, near Arctic and Benson. The Garden is on the south side (further from Benson), and the Depot is on the north side of the lot (closer to Benson).

The Garden is a mix of fiberglass and mounded raised beds and a small greenhouse. Water is on site, very sunny, and a tad windy some days. Gardeners have first dibs on compost, mulch, etc from the Depot.
