In the Garden's role as a research facility, its staff test more than 1,000 trees, shrubs, and herbaceous perennials for hardiness each year, including Alaska native plants and those collected from trips to China , Russia , and Iceland . Georgeson also serves as an official trial garden for the National Hardy Fern Foundation . The garden's flowering plant collections include Altai Violet s, Begonia s, Columbine s, Dahlia s, Delphinium , fern leaf Peony , fernleaf Tansy , Fuchsia s, Impatiens , Lilies , hardy shrub Rose , Sunflower s, and Sweet Pea s. Other plants include Fern s, Herb s, and trial vegetables including Corn and Tomatoe s. Due to its northern location, portions of the garden do have Permafrost (permanently frozen soil). In the forested areas, permafrost is 6-36 inches (15-91 centimeters) below the surface. In cleared fields the permafrost has receded to 25 feet (7.5 meters) or more. SEE ALSO |
