Georgeson Botanical Garden is known for its abundance of herbs, ornamental trees, vegetables and flowers that flourish within 100 miles of the Arctic Circle. The farthest-north botanical garden, Georgeson is well-known for its work with peonies, which bloom in June and July, as well as its research, education and outreach about high-latitude horticulture. |

The reason the two RV Gypsies went to the Botanical Gardens in Fairbanks, Alaska was because of the advertisements about the GIANT fruits and vegetables. But it was apparently off-season for the giant goodies, except for the cabbage. But the gardens were nice, but far from the best gardens they have ever been to. | |
