      About three dozen bikes sat abandoned in the New Hope Compassionate Ministries’ parking lot as their riders wandered through one of Anchorage’s unexpected gardens. The Garden of Weeden sits in the corner of a parking lot and could easily be mistaken for just an unkempt shamble of bushes.

      That was seven years ago. Along the way her husband David built a split-level deck, and a hot tub was installed just beyond the massive and colorful wild flower garden -- with over 24 varieties -- on the south side of the house. These flowers may be weed-like in their wildness, but the Browns take great pains to keep their yard free of true weeds, which is why they have dubbed it "The Garden of Weeden. The name is inscribed on a small cement footpad in the path through the flowers.
  2. A paradise for marijuana consumers.

      Walk Through the Garden of Weed-en. Forbidden Fruit is one of the most delightful indicas, with relaxing effects and a tingly body high that can drift you off to dreamland. It’s not the right strain for partying and being productive. But for cozy evenings on the couch or nights gazing at the stars and eating from the Tree of Knowledge? Hell yeah.
