Mission

Government Hill Commons, an Alaska nonprofit corporation, ("GHC") is a community organization that was formed to cultivate, nurture, and enhance public spaces in the Government Hill neighborhood in Anchorage, Alaska. GHC was created on July 19, 2016. The central goal of the organization is to develop and maintain a public space, which will be known as the Government Hill Commons (the "Commons"). Initial plans for the Commons include planting a community orchard and making garden beds available for use by locals. There are additional plans to include art projects and a gathering space. The Commons are intended to be a focal point of the neighborhood, uniting the east and west portions of the community and serving as a gateway to people entering Government Hill.

Program accomplishments

• Because of the Pandemic, 2020 was a hold steady year. No public programs, events, etc. Orchard is in good shape. Lots fruit and several successful experiments: Peaches in Alaska!!!!
• 2019 was another good year at the Commons. Our orchard is now just about complete - we have almost 100 fruit trees in the ground and the warm summer led to and surprisingly robust harvest from our young trees. We also harvested several gallons of honey from our bee hive. In terms of art, our children's mural was an outstanding success. We also received donations for an espalier which is located in the middle of the orchard. We had several children's events that were coordinated with the neighboring elementary school. All in all, a very good year.
• 2021 saw an increase in activity. The Commons hosted two outdoor events. Fruit trees continue to produce and mature. Definitely starting to return to normal after the pandemic.
• In 2022, the Commons went into a holding pattern. Basic maintenance and some "swag" (t-shirts, etc) sales. We also hosted several educational events. Our trees continue to mature.
• 2023 was another "maintaining" year. Simple work parties, harvesting, and some "swag" sales.
• 2024 Accomplishments: Water Service hooked up! Significant cleanup of grounds. Prepping for 2025.
• 2025 was a busy year. Culminating in a Fall Harvest Festival at the end of September. Also played host to a native plants nursery. Lots of apples harvested, grounds and maintenance work, etc.
