All plant starts are grown from seeds in our seed library collection.
Proceeds directly support Growing Ester’s Biodiversity programs.
You’ll find a wide variety of flowers, herbs, and vegetables — many regionally suited for our Interior Alaska climate.

We Need Your Help!
If you have unwanted plant trays, pots, or inserts, please consider donating them to the seed library. It’s a wonderful way to keep plastic out of the landfill and support local gardening!
Thank you so much!
