Each fall, we celebrate all things currant at the Currant Festival. Currants are an underdog in the ÀÖ»¢Ö±²¥ berry community, often outshone by prolific and tasty ÀÖ»¢Ö±²¥ blueberries, salmonberries, raspberries and cranberries. Currants, from translucent red to trailing black varieties, are found across the state. They make an easy and nutritious addition to home gardens or a specialty crop on farms.
Every summer, Fairbanks locals flock to the Georgeson Botanical Garden each Thursday evening for outdoor fun and music. This event is supported by UAF Summer Sessions.
Each summer, the Georgeson Botanical Garden Friends invite you to an evening of wine and flowers. Come celebrate the beauty of ÀÖ»¢Ö±²¥n peonies in the garden and take home a lovely bouquet. Enjoy wine, hors d’oeuvres, friends, music, and tours of the garden in bloom. All proceeds support the Garden.
Winter walks are here! This year we encourage visitors to come stroll through the gardens all winter long. We will be clearing paths so visitors can enjoy the calm of winter's beauty. Please stay on the trails and keep an eye out for wildlife.
