Call About Our Plant Selection
Locally Grown, Regionally Resilient
Our nursery, located at 9148 James Blvd in the heart of Juneau’s Mendenhall Valley, has been a cornerstone of the local gardening community since we opened our doors. We know firsthand the challenges that come with gardening in a temperate rainforest — from heavy rainfall and cool summers to acidic soils and occasional frost. That’s why every tree, shrub, perennial, and annual we offer is carefully selected and grown with our region in mind.
We’re more than just a plant nursery in Juneau, AK — we’re your neighbors, and we share your passion for cultivating beautiful, resilient landscapes that reflect the natural splendor of Southeast Alaska.
