Like the rest of the places around Anchorage, the wildlife and plant life here is spectacular but standard…but a lot more attractively organised. 110 acres of spruce and birch woodland cover 1,200+ species of plants, and you’ll probably catch a bear or a moose among them. The highlights include:

• Lile’s Garden: Landscaped gardening containing the Gold Medal Peony collections and Prinulas.
• Lower Perennial Garden: Peonies and poppies are fantastic in July and June.
• Herb Garden: Native American medicinal herbs. Fascinating!
• Rock Garden: Alpine plants and tufa rocks
• Anchorage Heritage Garden: Old style garden
• Wildflower Trail
• An Alaskan Kitchen Garden Exhibit
• Entrance Kiosk Area & Shade Garden
• Lowenfels Family Nature Trail (1.1 miles)

Events planned at the Garden must be booked and paid for in advance.

• No smoking, pets, motorised vehicles, going off trails, removal of garden elements, feeding wildlife, kites, frisbees, or loud noises.
