Got a couple of flowers for an outdoor planter, and considering it's mid June, I was happy to see…read moresuch variety. Regretfully I didn't go inside to check out the goods, but outside... there was an abundance of flowers, herbs, succulents, plants, small decor and others. Signage for price, clearance (in the back towards alley), and shaded plants were clearly marked. I appreciate that while the staff was kind, they weren't overbearing and allowed you to shop and your pace. I ended up needing advice and found someone who was very helpful. They have shopping carts (I didn't notice baskets), but the space is so tight, I didn't bother using one. As for parking, it's just street parking but I was able to find a spot on the parkway. Anyway, I've passed by so many times and don't know why it took so long to stop in, but glad I finally did.

Then, I asked what type of soil, and they looked up the plant in a database and and gave me a suggestion. I ended up getting my pots, soil, and a new plant (because of course) and they walked me to my car to help me carry everything even though it was cold out. Amazing service, great selection, and a gem of a small business!

I've bought plants here that quickly died despite appropriate care, and the store wouldn't replace them. Sometimes what is available in store already looks half dead. They are also very picky about what you can use store credit for on the few items that are covered under their guarantees. I have a really hard time finding what I need due to the compact layout and lack of much signage. Employees are usually friendly and helpful but it can be hard to find one who is available. Even though it's a much longer drive, I usually go to Bachmann's instead to spend less and enjoy an easier experience plus worry-free guarantees.

There has always been someone readily available to answer questions and keep check-out moving. I've visited many times and always receive friendly assistance.

Twin Orchards Nursery is a hidden gem for both serious and casual gardeners and landscapers…read more Their nursery is located on nearly 3 acres in a residential area of Shorewood (near Lake Minnetonka). The owners and operators are Alan and Jerod, who are experts in their craft, but also very down-to-earth. They have been in business for more than 30 years. While the great bulk of their revenue comes from their commercial clients, they opened to the retail public several years ago. It amazes me how passionate they are to serve and educate the public. In other words, they don't view the individual retail buyers (like me) as "small fish", or as a nuisance. They simply have a great passion for plants, and they want to pass along that passion. The selection of perennials is the best I have seen in the Twin Cities (550 different varieites). Think of it as Bachman's multiplied by a factor of 5 (or more) -- while having prices that are more affordable than Bachman's. The health and quality of their plants is outstanding. A typical 1-gallon perennial plant goes for about $10 right now. While that may be a few dollars more than Home Depot or Lowe's, keep in mind you are gaining access to varieties of perennials that you won't find at those stores. Plus, you are getting fuller, more developed, healthier plants. Beyond their expansive selection of perennials, Twin Orchards also sells a fine selection of flowering shrubs, herbs, and vegetables. Twin Orchards maintains an excellent website and Facebook page. They offer an annual catalog on their website, and they also maintain a plant availability spreadsheet online that is updated throughout the season. * I should mention that I have zero relation to the team at Twin Orchards. I am just a very satisfied customer.
