Frozen, windswept land, polar bears as well as caribou, glaciers and icebergs, are what comes to mind when thinking about the arctic. In Anaktuvuk Pass, a small village on the north edge of the Brooks Range over the Arctic Circle, one individual is challenging that idea. Nasugraq Rainy Hopson established Gardens in the Arctic, a horticulture program that concentrates on giving #food for the community.

The only long-term negotiation of the #Alaska #Native Nunamiut, Anaktuvuk Pass relies upon air deliveries for fruit and vegetables, making it hard to obtain fresh vegetables and fruits. Hopson hopes that over time, her gardening program will certainly aid lead and also create a lasting community to much better wellness for her and her next-door neighbors.
