Seth Kantner is known to many Alaskans as the award winning author of the novel Ordinary Wolves and a collection called Shopping for Porcupine. But in addition to writing, commercial fishing and professional photography, he's also an arctic gardener. He says for nearly two decades, he has enjoyed spending time each spring flying seedlings, seeds and fertilizer to eager village gardeners in communities along the Kobuk river.
