Photography in the Garden
The Alaska Botanical Garden is a nonprofit Botanical Garden, not a public park. The Garden receives no Municipal, State, or Federal operating support – relying instead upon donations, entrance fees, memberships, and program revenue to maintain the gardens. Please conduct your visit with the utmost care and respect for the plantings, facilities, wildlife, and fellow visitors; and “leave no trace” upon conclusion of your visit.|
