Spring is a grand reawakening for gardening and growing enthusiasts.
RurAL CAP Gardening Program Coordinator, Emily Becker and Community Development Program Manager of GROW, Iva Karoly-Lister, share how the GROW program provides training, technical assistance and funding opportunities to people growing food in rural and urban Alaska.

Kelly grew up in the Midwest among farms and fertile soils.
Outfitted with a B.A. in Communications and a minor in Film Studies, she moved to Nome, Alaska to work for a community-driven, nonprofit radio station. There she became versed in local radio, holding a range of jobs from Program and Music Director to producer and on-air host. Every day she’s in awe of the connection and companionship only local radio provides. When not working, Kelly and her spouse happily spend their time traveling, appreciating the true wild, and creating artsy things.
