One of Fairbanks’ best-kept secrets.
In my dozen years as a Sourdough, I had never visited this little gem until today. Shame on me.
The Georgeson Botanical Garden is indeed a lovely place to be on a sunny Interior day.
Besides the picturesque plots of colorful and fragrant flora the Garden offers several romantic seating areas, bubbling brooks crossed by small wooden bridges, water features, a koi pond (unfortunately the fish were too shy for a photo) and interesting sculptures.
Visitors can view giant Alaska cabbages, several species of birds, and hard working honeybees.
The place is also kid friendly. I observed pure unadulterated (pun intended) joy as children ran through the lush green grass, wound through a maze of vines,
climbed trees and splashed in the water.
If your kids are bored at home during the summer on a nice day, throw a sandwich in a paper sack and head on over to the Botanical Garden. You can sit back and relax while their imaginations run wild!
