furryfacesParticipantBoth Village Green and West Seattle Nursery are great choices.
The Backyard Gardener is also have a Veggie plant sale this weekend, both Sat/Sun. She is locate a few blocks east of 35th, Near Southwest Community Center. Just watch for her signs on 35th. All of her plants are organic from beginning to end (seed, soil, fertilizer).
As a side note, all three of these nurseries are great supporters of F3 and we appreciate their support of our greater community.

anonymeParticipantWest Seattle Nursery has a great selection, and PCC is also getting their veggie starts in stock now.

DianaParticipantLots of good suggestions as to where to get plants but I would like to add a note to this since you are new. Most of the vegetable starts on the market right now are grown under greenhouse conditions. Planting conditions right now are not optimum. The soil temperature is too cold and most will fail to thrive or will struggle. I would suggest you prepare your soil, get your plan in place, and wait several weeks.

cjboffoliParticipantEven though it isn’t in West Seattle and is kind of a schlep to get to Crown Hill, I really like Swanson’s and always have good luck with the plants I source from there.

anonymeParticipantDiana, that’s great advice. It’s OK to plant seeds now (or even earlier) but tender greenhouse plants may not make it this early. Especially when it’s freezing out, like today.

ellenaterMemberIf you can hold out, Tilth’s plant sales are fantastic! They are also a great way to meet and pow-wow with other gardeners:

B-squaredParticipantI second the suggestion of Backyard Gardener. Always nice to buy that local. Also, PCC has edible starts out front of the store. The Sunday Farmers Market in the Junction will have some great edible starts once the season gets more into swing. Check the nursery at the college (SSCC). They have a horticulture/landscape program and run a very nice little nursery. And like Ellenater says, the Seattle Tilth’s edible plant sale is an excellent source for plants. I volunteer there every year. Volunteers get an opportunity to get their plants before the crowd.
