Every garden has a story. And the Jensen-Olson Arboretum has quite a history that is being celebrated in an exhibit at the City Museum.
On this Wednesday’s Juneau Afternoon, a preview of the museum’s First Friday presentation, which features an extensive slide show of the garden.
Also, on this program:
- More First Friday fare, from the Juneau Arts and Humanity Council.
- And in this week’s Garden Talk with Ed Buyarski, some advice on watering your plant in hot weather.
Sheli DeLaney hosts this Wednesday’s program. You can catch Juneau Afternoon, Tuesday through Friday, live at 3:00 p.m. on KTOO Juneau 104.3. The rebroadcast airs at 7:00 p.m. on KTOO. You can also listen online at ktoo.org.

“We’re not talking about religious joys, though many gardeners are devout believers. We’re thinking of the deep and subtle sense of connectedness to the seasons… the miracle of a sprouting plant… the cycles of life, death, and rebirth every gardener experiences in his or her garden.”
-Carolyn Jensen, February 18, 2006
Part 2: July's First Friday events
