Alaska Botanical Garden

Alaska Botanical Garden Review

The garden showcases perennials hardy enough to make it in South Central Alaska in several large display gardens, a pergola-enclosed herb garden, and a rock garden amid 110 acres of mixed boreal forest. There's a 1-mi nature trail loop to Campbell Creek, with views of the Chugach Range and a wildflower trail between the display gardens. Interpretive signs guide visitors and identify plants along the trail. Children can explore the garden with an activity-filled duffel bag Tuesday-Saturday 1-4 pm. Docent tours are available at 1 pm daily June through August, or by appointment between June 1 and September 15. The gift shop and retail nursery are open 10-4 Tuesday-Sunday late May to mid-September.
