Garden Art Activities

Garden Art Activities provides creative projects inspired by the Alaska Botanical Garden plant collection and grounds. These introductory art activities are appropriate for learners of all ages and stages. Each project can be self-guided on location at the Garden or completed remotely.

See all the Garden Art Activities and downloadable assets below!

Art kits (video above) are also available at the Admission Booth and used within the Garden! Art prompts displayed around the Garden paths are meant to be used with the art kits to help facilitate discussion and creativity. Check out our educator guide to see what’s inside the kits and how to use them.
