    I have mixed feelings about his Greenhouse... the only reason I bumped them from a 3 to a 4 star is…read morebased on the sheer variety of plants they sell. Of all the greenhouses I've visited in Alaska, this one has the widest selection of perennials. They have things that NO ONE else has, so that's pretty cool. What isn't cool? Three things: One- their plants are all on the ground (instead of eye level on tables, crammed to closely together on the wet soggy ground. They're too close together and there's no place to walk. As a result: Two- their plants are being over taken by weeds. Since they're on the ground the weeds are free to take over. The plants are not very well tended at all. Three: The prices are waaaaaay to high given the quality. The plants are small and poorly tended and you pay for the POT size, not the plant size. Kinda ridiculous. The indoor plants in the greenhouse are well tended and gorgeous however. I just think their poor layout makes it really difficult to tend the plants. The greenhouse is an oasis of tropical plants, soothing sounds and smells. They have a cute selection of gifts- wind chimes, soaps and lotions and other zen items. I was really pleased with their selection of herbs, which is one of my favorite subjects: basil, siam basil, tri-colored sage, parsley, oregano, rosemary, thyme, lemon verbena, bee balm, chocolate mint, peppermint, chives and other lovelies. I'll definitely be back, but I'll be looking for sales to make it worth the trip.

    My favorite Alaska Greenhouse! Small but the owner is very knowledgeable and very approachable. He…read morehas a very unique stock of plants and gives you care instructions for a lot of plants. I go every year at least a couple times. They also sell local honey, a must for my seasonal allergies. Make sure you check them out!

I would say they are better priced and more service-oriented than their competitors. I will continue to do my gardening business with P&M.

The also have wonderful herbs, veggies, roses, carnivorous plants, a smattering of orchids... they even have banana "trees" and bird of paradise. Their plants are also incredibly healthy and robust. And best of all, their prices are, at a minimum 10% cheaper than anywhere else. In some instances, their prices are as much as 75% cheaper than other places. One of the reasons for that is they are a grower that provides plants to a lot of other retail shops. I think the other reason is because these people are serious plant lovers and really just want to share the joy. The location is a bit of an inconvenience as it's not really near, well, anything... but it's definitely worth it to make a couple trips throughout the year to see what offerings they have. As a person who formerly worked in a greenhouse, I can assure you, it doesn't get any better than this. Love love love, so much love. (Check out my pics, the proof is in the pudding.)

    My wife and I solicited quotes from 3 other landscaping companies before settling on Faltz…read moreLandscaping. The 3 others met us at our home and listened to our ideas and took measurements of the areas to be landscaped. Within a week we received quotes from two of the other companies that just parroted back our ideas without any design drawings or detail. The third company jerked us around for 3 additional weeks before telling us they were too busy and gave us a baseless and wildly expensive "estimate" for next year. In contrast, Josie Blumenthal from Faltz came to our house twice to sketch the area, take dimensions and develop our design ideas. On the 2nd trip she took aerial photos with a drone and prepared a concept design based upon our ideas. At our third meeting, Ben Brown, Faltz Landscape Architect, who was mentoring Josie, joined the Team and proposed some new design concepts that we liked a lot. We signed a contract and within a week the Faltz crew was on site. The 3-man crew were experienced, polite and professional. Most of the time while the work was in progress, either Josie, Ben or both were on site, assuring the work was in conformance with the plan. At the end of every workday, the crew cleaned our yard and driveway. Three days later the work was complete. The final product far exceeded our expectations, and we are very happy with the entire Faltz Team, especially Ben and Josie. We felt that Faltz provided a superior product and good value. We'd highly recommend Faltz for your landscape needs.

She took notes and gave me an email to contact. I emailed again. No response. I sent a letter to the owner complaining of the lack of response to 4 different attempts to request service and questioning how they stay in business. He sent his son to my house the next day. The son took notes and left. He never sent an estimate. They obviously don't want my business, and I absolutely don't recommend them. If I could give no stars I would.

They have a great gift shop portion of the nursery that is dedicated to *non plant* type items like candles, purses, dinnerware and candy. They also have a nice little coffee shop with a great seating area! Since I went in the winter they had a nice selection of house plants but mostly TONS of poinsettias and Christmas trees. The greenhouse smelled absolutely amazing with all the pine trees. The farmers market portion was AWESOME! Amazing vendors, live music, and fresh Alaska veggies like potato's, carrots, onions and tomato's. All in all it was a great experience!!
