Get out of the city and into the Alaskan wilderness with a "husky hike" - guided nature hike with your own Siberian Husky sled dog. After a brief tour of the homestead, we will visit the dog yard and you will meet your hiking partner, one of our friendly Siberian Husky sled dogs. You will learn to harness your husky, and then together we will embark on a nature walk through the old growth boreal forest that surrounds the homestead. This is hike is 3 miles round trip and crosses uneven, moderately steep terrain. We will point out wildflowers, trees, and animals on our walk up to the top of the ridge, where vast panoramic views of the Chatanika River Valley and the White Mountains await. We will sit on top of the ridge and enjoy a hot drink, home-baked treat, and the company of your sled dog partner before we descend down through the cranberry bushes and ferns back to the kennel. On this tour you will have the opportunity to learn about Siberian Huskies, the natural history of Alaska, sled dogs, the Iditarod Sled Dog Race (Lisbet is a 3-time finisher), and off-grid living. This tour is 2-3 hours total, from arrival to departure. Other things to note: Bring hiking shoes, light jacket in case of wind/rain, water bottle, sunscreen, and sunglasses.

The walking tour will start with a brief wildlife safety talk. Please note that bears can be in the area, both inside and outside the fenced area. Next, I will highlight the entry beds and we will work our way up to the front gate. Once inside the fence and plaza area we will stop to talk about the history of ABG including dedicated volunteers and staff that helped transform ABG over the last 34 years. We will follow the half mile paved loop around to the several perennial gardens, research plot and outdoor classroom. The tour will end with the newest addition, the greenhouse, then we will exit through the nursery & gift shop. Please note that the season and weather will ultimately determine the plants that we see. April-mid May can be early for some plants and the gardens might be muddy and or slushy. Peonies are usually in full bloom from mid June to mid July. Mid September might be a little late for some plants, it can be rainy and cool. Tours in Spring, Summer & Fall will cover the history of the garden, identify available plants, wildlife, trees and also general local information. You will leave with new found knowledge about some of the hardy plants in Alaska. All guests will be required to follow any addition regulations from ABG at the time of your tour. All tours are subject to operating hours of the Alaska Botanical Garden and may be canceled with limited notice.

Fill your belly and your soul as you harvest, pick, forage, and pet (the piggies!) a multitude of both cultivated and wild varieties of sustainable food sources in this incredible cornucopia of food! Come hungry, because you will get to graze throughout your tour AND take some home with you! You'll be given a container with which to deposit your favorite goodies that you encounter during your tour including: microgreens, edible flowers, wild and cultivated varieties of berries, snap peas, and other delicious wild and garden goodies. And don't forget about our porky pals. They won't fit in your container, but they'll love any ear and belly scratches you'd like to give them! We will first meet at The Grow Room, where we'll see our aquaponics operation - from fish to vegetable - and sample some of what's coming out of the grow bed. Then we'll take a look at our signature product - microgreens, and be able to graze some of these beautiful varieties, right off the stem, where you'll taste their vibrancy and incredible flavors. Next, we'll go see where our microgreens waste goes to and watch our porcine friends (piggies) literally, "pig out"! Then we'll take a tour of our burgeoning food forest of arctic hardy apple trees and berry bushes. We'll end our tour by checking out our vegetable and edible flower beds and again, be able to taste some some of the fruits of our labor.
