Jensen-Olson Arboretum

The Jensen-Olson Arboretum opened to the public in July 2007. Located on the idyllic shores of Pearl Harbor in Juneau, Alaska, it is one of only a few public gardens that enjoy ocean frontage. The arboretum’s founder, Caroline Jensen wanted her spectacular private gardens to become a public space and to be “a place that both teaches and inspires learning in horticulture, natural sciences and landscaping – to preserve the beauty of the landscape for pure aesthetic enjoyment – to maintain the historical and cultural context of the place and its people.”
