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.

I have been coming here for years and love their selection of annuals, perennials, vegetables, unique garden accessories and GORGEOUS baskets. They do a great job of creating really full, lush baskets and containers that make the grocery store variety look like it just came out of a hail storm. Yes, they are a little more expensive than Home Depot or some other larger stores, but it's worth it. Their plants are healthy, full and simply high quality. They have also started doing winter arrangements and they were a one stop shop for my Christmas decor last year. They really have some creative and inspiring ideas and are ahead of the trends. Nikki, the manager has some of the best customer service I have seen. She is friendly to everyone, and is very knowledable about anything and everything green. Their team is more than happy to help you pick out something that would make your neighbors green with envy. They also have a greenhouse in Shakopee which has an enormous selection. http://www.yelp.com/biz/sailers-greenhouse-shakopee. I really can't say enough about this great place which has been passed down for generations. --- BUY LOCAL!

The prices of these specimens is not surprisingly very high. However, most of the inventory is priced at what you find at other nurseries. We stopped in over the Labor Day weekend looking for a small evergreen. No less than three people offered help and we were able to find what we were looking for. And on sale too. Fall is a great time to buy plants and trees with most things on sale. This weekend they had perennials for 50 to 75% off. Many plants were just 2 or 3 dollars.
