Alaska Botanical Garden

Alaska Botanical Garden is a 110-acre nonprofit garden in Anchorage within Far North Bicentennial Park, opened in 1993 and operated year-round to support education, preservation, recreation, and research. Much of the site remains spruce and birch forest, creating a northern landscape that includes eight demonstration gardens, a Junior Master Gardeners area, and fenced cultivated grounds protected from moose. Its collections focus on plants suited to Alaska’s climate, including more than 1,100 perennial species, about 150 of them native to Alaska, along with an herb garden, alpine rock garden, wildflower walk, and nature trail. It is significant as both a public garden and a place for practical northern horticulture.
