Georgeson Botanical Garden, Botanical garden at University of Alaska Fairbanks campus, United States.
The five-acre garden contains over 3,000 varieties of flowers, vegetables, and herbs adapted to northern climates, situated on a slope below the university.
Charles Christian Georgeson established the garden during the Gold Rush era while researching agricultural possibilities as USDA Special Agent in Alaska.
The garden serves as an educational center for northern horticulture research, demonstrating cultivation techniques for plants near the Arctic Circle.
Visitors can access the garden from May through September during daylight hours, with guided tours available for 10 dollars per person.
The garden produces cabbages weighing up to 50 pounds due to extended daylight hours during the growing season in Alaska.
