P&M is bar-none, my favorite greenhouse in Alaska. The have the widest variety of houseplants,…read moretropicals, annuals and perennials of any place in the area. 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.)

When I moved into my first house, one of my first gifts was an apple tree from FMNN. This summer, FMNN cleared out the tables and my husband and I used the greenhouse for our wedding reception. It was an absolutely beautiful space and there were hanging baskets everywhere. FMNN is a short drive outside of Anchorage and you can't beat the views on the way out. The only downside is that in late July it can be very buggy outside the greenhouse which created a few unexpected wedding day challenges.

The customer service at AK Butcher Supply is TOP NOTCH! Whether you're talking to them at the…read moresportsman show in the spring or in their shop, they're just filled with a ton of quality knowledge and so friendly! If you're into preserving your own harvest, whether it be meat or vegetation, this is a great shop for you. Of course it's mostly geared towards the preservation of meat, but they have so much to offer! I like to just peruse and check things out. Are things cheap there, no, they're not but they're a good quality too. Might you find something cheaper online, quite possibly and most likely at times. They did offer a military discount and I never balk at that!! Keep in mind, locally owned and operated, they can't always offer amazing discounts when they had to pay for shipping and such to get it up here too. We picked up a few items to add to or replace in our preservation repertoire today and we spent just as much time chatting it up with the two kind gentlemen that worked there as we did looking around. Talking techniques and recipes is great in our book!! The only thing I wish they would do is host some classes for making sausages and such; that would be fantastic and I keep telling them that. I know I'm not the only one around here who would attend!!

I just have to give a huge shout-out to Candice in the Paint Department at Lowe's!…read more Home projects can feel overwhelming, especially when you're standing in front of what feels like a million paint colors, but Candice made the entire experience enjoyable. She was incredibly patient, knowledgeable, and kind. She took the time to listen to my ideas, answer my questions, and help me find the perfect direction for my project. What really stood out was that she genuinely cared. I never felt rushed or like I was "just another customer." She went above and beyond to make sure I had what I needed and felt confident moving forward. Her positive attitude, professionalism, and willingness to help turned what could have been a stressful errand into a great experience. In today's world, exceptional customer service deserves to be recognized, and Candice absolutely deserves it. Lowe's is lucky to have her on their team. Thank you, Candice, for your kindness, patience, and for going the extra mile. You made this Alaska gal's day, and I am truly grateful!

As if they were leading me on a safari, we went on a search for the item or for someone to give us more guidance. Even after being told by another employee that because it doesn't have a location means I can only buy it online, Rose had high spirits and dedication to help. We spoke to a couple of nice men in lumber and they knew what I was searching for! In fact, the only 3 they showed they had were outside between the fence and a utility box. Without their help, I DEFINITELY would not have found it! Thank you for your diligence, your patience, your kindness and positive spirit! Oh and make Rose employee of the month! :)
