It was busy at the Arboretum last week! 🌤️

The Juneau Parks & Recreation Parks & Landscape Maintenance crews helped shred tree trimmings, spread chips and gravel, and trim perennials. We checked some tasks off the to-do list before winter arrives! ✅

Students from the Tlingit Culture, Language, and Literacy program also harvested Tlingit potatoes at the Arboretum. 🥔 They planted the potatoes in the spring and returned on a beautiful, sunny day to dig them up. Thank you to Friends of Jensen-Olson Arboretum for sponsoring transportation for the students!

Recently, young artists got the opportunity to paint at the Jensen-Olson Arboretum while enjoying beautiful weather! Local artist Kelsey Hoke led the children through a vibrant painting workshop, giving them a chance to be creative and try something new. 🎨 Thank you to those who volunteer their time to make these events possible!

Reminiscing about sunny days... 🌦️ There were some spectacular colors at the arboretum under the clear blue sky we were lucky to have last week! Blooming now are phlox, delphinium, spiraea, daisies, ligularia, and many more. 🪻

We were delighted to be a part of Theater Alaska’s production of 'Cry It Out'! The performance at the arboretum landed on a gorgeous evening. Thank you to Theater Alaska for sharing your talents with garden enthusiasts, and thank you to Friends of Jensen-Olson Arboretum for your volunteer time spent helping guests at the event.
