Review & FAQ:

The Jenson-Olsen Arboretum was established by avid gardener and primrose-lover Caroline Jenson, who established her private garden in an unlikely area of temperate rainforest, right on the edge of the ocean. After her passing, the garden was gifted to the City of Juneau, where it has become a much-loved outdoor science room where the public can learn much about nature and the environment. Visitors can enjoy walking through several distinct areas including the Rhododendron Corridor, native beds, veggie garden and the large Crescent Bed, where beautiful primroses steal the show in spring and summer. The garden is dotted with benches where you can relax and admire the gardens and ocean view.
