Closed for Season. Fritz Creek Gardens is now closed for the season. It's been a wonderful year for gardening in Alaska. For one, the weather has been pretty cooperative, and that always is a good place to start. Thanks to our wonderful staff. And thank you for your support and for making 2009 such a great year. And it really won't be that long until April 15, 2010, rolls around and we open again.

Web Site Always Open. Even though we may be physically closed for the season, our web site is always open, of course. Feel free to look around and learn more about the many hundreds of perennials, grasses, roses, vines, trees, and shrubs we carry.

Of course, we would love to hear from you. If you have questions or comments, please send them our way. We intend to update the site as best we can, so check back now and then.

Shrubs & Trees. Our online plant catalog features hundres of perennials, roses, vines, and ornamental grasses. We also put up a reference list showcasing the huge selection of woody plants we receive each summer. See our Shrub & Tree List for more information.

Updated Garden Blog. Want to know more about gardening Alaska style? Be sure to check out our Garden Blog or online newsletter. We'll add to it over the course of fall and winter. We're leaving our old posts up, as there is so much good information in there. Happy reading!

New Plants for 2009. Of course, we already are planning for 2010 and all of the new goodies we want to add. Every year we seem to go a little crazy, you know. Take a look at the new plants we added for this past season. Some are exciting new additions to the market. Some are old favorites that we haven't carried for a while. Regardless, they are some great plants! Check out our New 2009 Plants for photos and more information.

Directions. Fritz Creek Gardens is located 8.5 miles from downtown Homer on East End Road. (There is another greenhouse on the way at mile 7, Reid's, which specializes in annuals and herbs.) The drive is beautiful and well worth the time. Be sure to bring your camera!
