About

Our shortest day of the year brings us just under 4 hours of daylight on December 21st, while the longest day of the year, June 21st, we see almost 22 hours of daylight. Temperatures can dip as low as -78 degrees in the winter, to a high of 95 degrees during our summers. Alaska is known as "Land of the Midnight Sun" because the sun is up 24 hours per day in parts of Northern Alaska where there is no night sky for many weeks. We love our summers and so do our flowers and gardens - which grow magnificently in our 24 hours of daylight. North Pole, Alaska celebrated its 59th anniversary on January 16, 2012! | |||||||||||||||
