Gardens and Anchorage Tour

WOW!! What beautiful weather in Anchorage, Alaska! Three weeks without rain, unusually warm weather,(up to 75 degrees F.) and daylight, 18 plus hours a day.... it must be spring/summer!! Last weekend was the BIG weekend to plant our annuals. The city of Anchorage is referred to as the City of flowers, or hanging baskets and the downtown area flowers are beautiful! We at the Teddy Bear Bed and Breakfast have just finished planting about 30 planters and baskets. Our "new" lawn, of two weeks, is coming up...just a green haze across the yard now, but promises to be beautiful. With all this sunshine and watering three times a day it won't take long.

With tourist season now in full swing we played tourist ourselves this past week. We took the Anchorage City Trolley Tours and found it a bargain at $15 dollars a person. The tour lasts about one hour and gives a lot of history of Anchorage as well.

Anchorage Bed and Breakfast Club members are eager to help you enjoy the wonderful Anchorage gardens and all that Anchorage has to offer on your visit to Alaska!
