Georgeson Botanical Garden is a Special Place

Georgeson Botanical Garden is a nationally recognized botanical garden known for its abundance of herbs, ornamental trees, vegetables and flowers that flourish within 100 miles of the Arctic Circle. The farthest-north botanical garden, Georgeson is well-known for its work with  peonies—which bloom in June and July—as well as its research, education and outreach about high-latitude horticulture. The garden is a popular summer destination for residents and tourists and hosts a wealth of special events. 

Eight of the garden's acres are cultivated. It sits on the eastern side of the ²ÊÉñix¹ÙÍø Experiment Farm—a facility established in 1906 that is part of the UAF Agriculture and Forestry Experiment Station.
