Welcome to Master Gardeners of the Tanana Valley! We are located in Fairbanks, Alaska, the “Golden Heart” of Alaska’s Interior. Here, many people grow everything from potatoes and carrots to greens, fruit, and even corn.
We offer activities for new and experienced gardeners, from classes and workshops to garden tours and guest speakers.
We’d love to teach you how fun and productive it is to garden in Alaska’s Interior during our relatively short—but intense—growing season. Join us and learn how to:
- Choose the plant varieties that grow best in our northern soils
- Improve your soil for better crop yields
- Deal with common garden pests
- Extend the growing season with row covers, greenhouses, and other strategies
- And much more
