Who are we ?

Above all, an independent seed store !

Alsagarden is a family-owned and independent garden center and seed shop located in Alsace, in the Hasel Valley, a natural haven situated between the Bruche River and the Vosges forest massif. Specialized in the propagation of rare edible plants, we actively work towards the preservation, production, and distribution of regional, heirloom, and forgotten vegetable varieties.

Our journey began in 2010, driven by the company’s founder, Lucas HEITZ, who was a young graduate in horticulture and passionate about the plant world. Alongside him, Marielle, his partner, also joined this beautiful adventure, contributing passionately to its development.

Today, Alsagarden shines through an online store and a gardening blog, while also offering a physical location that includes a seed shop, a nursery, and an exhibition vegetable garden. Located in Niederhaslach, in the Bas-Rhin region, just 25 minutes from Strasbourg, this place has quickly established itself as a gathering point for local gardeners in search of open-pollinated seeds and vegetable self-sufficiency!

Our philosophy

High quality organic seeds !

For more than a decade, we have distinguished ourselves by offering a wide range of seeds and collection plants as well as quality, organic and reproducible vegetable seeds.

Faithful to our convictions, we have chosen to work only with old varieties, called “populations”, free of rights and reproducible from year to year. Thus, we exclude from our vegetable range any variety of hybrid or GMO type, of course !

Our passion and the goal of our activity is to allow gardening enthusiasts to have at their disposal rare, unusual and sometimes declining plant species from our world botanical heritage.

Our variety selection

Le goût des plantes rares®, more than a slogan !

Happy to bring this diversity and these peasant seeds to life, our range currently includes more than 500 varieties, and our philosophy remains : le goût des plantes rares (“the taste of rare plants”) !

We are continuing our efforts by developing our assortment by focusing on the varieties that seem to us the most interesting, both in terms of taste and for the heritage and cultural interest they represent. Thus, one of the main challenges of our activity is to promote the cultivation of rare, ancient and forgotten species among amateur gardeners with the aim of conserving plant diversity.

Indeed, the more rare species and old varieties are cultivated, the lower the risk for them of falling into oblivion and disappearing. In this respect, we consider that amateur gardeners are true guarantors of this cultivated biodiversity.
