Where it all comes from
Grown in seven greenhouses, sold from one
Nothing here is trucked up from Texas. Every plant on our retail benches was grown by our family in our own seven greenhouses — about 17,000 square feet — since 1991. You shop in our sales greenhouse; the other six are working growing houses, closed to the public, and we keep restocking the sales benches from them all season. If a plant looks good on the bench, it was grown a few steps away.

What’s ready when
The single most useful thing to know before you drive out. The greenhouse changes week to week — come at the right moment and you get the pick of the benches. Weather shifts this by a week or two either way.
- Late April
Pansies, violas and other cool-season color that shrugs off a frost. Onion sets, broccoli, cabbage and cauliflower starts, early herbs.
- Early May
Hanging baskets at their fullest before they’ve been picked over. Perennials waking up.
- Mother’s Day weekend
Our busiest days of the year. Beautiful, but come early in the day if you want elbow room.
- Mid–late May
After the frost date: tomatoes, peppers and the tender annuals. The main planting window for most of the metro.
- June
Quieter, and a good time to fill gaps or restart a container that didn’t work out.
- September–October
Mums, asters, flowering kale and cabbage, ornamental peppers and grasses for fall pots.
Getting here
We’re in East Bethel, in the northern part of Anoka County. Highway 65 runs north–south through town and Viking Boulevard (County Road 22) runs east–west — the two roads most people navigate by.
Highway 65 north is the straight run and the one we’d recommend. Ham Lake is about thirteen miles from us and Blaine about eighteen, both around twenty minutes. Andover is about fifteen miles, and Coon Rapids and Anoka are around twenty, a little over half an hour. Stay on 65 to Viking Boulevard and turn east.
Same road, other direction: head south on Highway 65. Isanti is about twelve miles north of us, a quarter of an hour; Cambridge is about seventeen, around twenty minutes. Bethel is close enough to be a neighbor — it’s roughly halfway between Isanti and us.
Viking Boulevard west is the direct line. Wyoming is about ten miles and Forest Lake about fifteen, both under twenty minutes. Stacy is about twelve miles to the north-east, and Linwood is right next door.
Viking Boulevard east brings you straight across. Oak Grove and St. Francis are both about thirteen to fourteen miles, around twenty minutes. Ramsey and Elk River are twenty-two to twenty-five miles, a little over half an hour.
