Georgeson Botanical Garden, Botanical garden at University of Alaska Fairbanks campus, United States.

Georgeson Botanical Garden is a five-acre botanical garden at 117 West Tanana Drive on the University of Alaska Fairbanks campus. It is part of the Alaska Agricultural and Forestry Experiment Station and displays over 1,000 trees, shrubs, herbaceous plants and perennials tested each year, including Alaska native plants and specimens collected in China, Russia and Iceland. It also serves as an official test garden for the National Hardy Fern Foundation.

The garden is named after Charles Christian Georgeson, the USDA special agent in charge of Alaska investigations in 1899, who surveyed land near Fairbanks and started the Fairbanks Experiment Farm; part of that land later became the first University of Alaska campus. The botanical garden itself was created in 1991 and is part of the Alaska Agricultural and Forestry Experiment Station. A ten-year effort begun in 2001 to test fresh cut flower exports led to a small peony industry, with flowers shipped to retail and wholesale markets since 2007.

The garden demonstrates how people in far northern regions grow food and ornamental plants, showing techniques adapted to extreme seasonal changes. Visitors can see what thrives in such challenging conditions and how local gardeners work with the brief growing season.

The garden is open from May through September during daylight hours, with guided tours available throughout the season. Visitors should bring warm clothing since temperatures remain cool even in summer, and sturdy footwear is helpful for walking the sloped terrain.

Cabbages grown here can weigh up to 45 pounds due to the extended daylight hours during the growing season in this part of Alaska. This remarkable growth happens because the midnight sun provides nearly continuous sunlight for months.
