Make the most of our limited growing season by creating a growing plan with ABG staff. You will learn an ideal timeline for starting different plants, succession planning, and ABG's system for week-to-week seeding, up-potting, and transplanting that takes the guesswork out of springtime so you can hit the ground running as soon as the soil thaws.

Discounts on workshops, summer camps, and retail are just the beginning! Members also have early access to the Plant Sales Kickoff in mid-May and receive a 10% discount on all nursery purchases.

Most importantly, members receive free admission to the garden year-round, with the exception of ticketed events.

The Alaska Botanical Garden only grows with the sun, the soil, and the ongoing support of our generous community. Consider a lasting gift by purchasing a leaf from the ABG donor wall sculpture. Contributions will be honored with a personalized, engraved metal leaf and make a great gift for friends or family to celebrate an important milestone or to honor the memory of a loved one.

We accept used pots in the following sizes:

— 2 gallon
— 1 gallon
— 5.5 inch
— 4 inch
— 3.5 inch (deep + regular)

Clean pots in good condition can be dropped off with admissions staff during open hours only.
Pots left at ABG without staff awareness will be taken to the landfill.

Commonly referred to as Himalayan poppies, the genus Meconopsis is composed of fuzzy, flowering plants native to the Tibetan Plateau.
