A beautiful garden that serves as an educational and art installation venue as well. They offer plant sales and have a gift shop for garden lovers too. Membership for a family of four is only $75 for the year. A fantastic value considering they operate throughout the year. If you have any doubts about the varieties of plants, vegetables and flowers that can thrive in Alaska this is a great place to visit. The showcase gardens that celebrate local species as well. The trails wind through the property and adjoin a longer walk outside in the Campbell area system. Another fun program they offer are picnics in the park during the summer catered by South restaurant. Their website is great and you are able to reserve spots for all of the programs and classes conveniently online. Update May 2024: Don’t miss the annual plant sale on May 11th…need go no further for Mother’s Day gifts. Open at 9am for members and 10am for all other supporters.

We had such a delightful time together, walking on the garden paths and exploring the gardens! So much beauty and color to see everywhere you look! Peonies, those stunning beauties and my personal favorite, are showcasing their blooms, encouraging visits from bees 🐝 happy to oblige! While still other varieties of peonies are just thinking about budding. Many Star Gazers are out, as are the delicate and colorful Columbine. The ever magnificent Chocolate Lilies would not go unnoticed! So much vibrancy and greenery here! This was my first time exploring the gardens at this time of year> mid June. Many flower buds teasing you with their promise of full bloom, and tempting you to return and discover their beauty in within several weeks! Unfortunately, the majority of my picture taking was with another camera, but I hope this offering, will delight you nonetheless.

Beautiful and peaceful. This is a calm and quiet respite from the city. Beautiful spaces, plants, and flowers. The displays and immersion into the environment is wonderful. I highly recommend visiting. We took an afternoon in the middle of our week long visit to Alaska to visit the botanical garden. It was a very nice way to unwind and take in some nature while we were in the city transitioning from one nature area (Denali) to another (Seward/Chugach). Definitely worth the small admission fee. Take time to walk around all the areas, but also find a bench and just relax with a loved one and take in the flowers. Loved it!

I love plants, so this is my kind of place to go to. I was just visiting in Alaska and curious about what can grow in Anchorage. I was in for a nice surprise, the plants were nicely arranged and healthy looking. I was about a week too early for many to have blooms, but they were getting there. The employees were great. There were several working on fixing a couple of the flower beds (weeding and putting in a few new plants) and they were very happy to answer our questions regarding...
