Our nursery features over 400 kinds of Annuals, Perennials, Trees, Shrubs plus 145 genus of  Native plants.  Many of the Native plants have been grown from locally gathered seed or cuttings making them extra hardy here in northern Minnesota.

We have Beautiful Display Gardens for you or your group to tour by appointmentafter July 10th. Come and see us and enjoy the scenic drive. Shop for your plants in our park-like setting where birds and butterflies abound. It's worth the drive!

Since we spend a great deal of the year in winter mode, plants with unique features every season of the year are important to us and are showcased in the designs we install for you! 
 
 We design with the three F's in mind:flowers,fruit,and foliage and throw in twig color for good measure.
