Alaska Botanical Gardens, located in Anchorage, Alaska opened in 1993. It covers about 110 acres and contains over 1,000 varieties of plants native to southcentral Alaska. There's an herb garden, a rock garden, and a wildflower walk. It's a great place to hike with spectacular views of the Chugach Mountain Range. Nature lovers will enjoy it for bird watching, and occasionally will spot moose and bears.
The gardens are open year-round from dawn to dusk. The cost of admission for adults is $7.00. For children, admission is $5.00.
What a beautiful place for gardens. I don't think I'd want to see a bear on the trail though.

ReplyDeleteI think the bird-watching is really good, too, if you're in to that.
DeleteLovely as long as you just spot the bears...not come face to face while strolling the grounds. Yikes!
ReplyDeleteThat would be scary!
