Located in what was once rural Plymouth and now surrounded by McMansions the family owners really know their stuff when it comes to orchids. While they have limited walk-in hours (Friday 10-4) they do a large business with pick up delivery and wholesale. We popped in on a frigid January Friday shortly after they opened and interacted with the super friendly, and knowledgeable proprietor who is the 2nd generation running the biz. He was so generous

For the past week or so, I was looking to buy some orchids for my mother. I stopped at Menards,…read moreTarget, and Home Depot and found no luck and finally found this place. Although it was quite a drive away, I was extremely pleased with my visit here. There was a huge assortment of orchids, ranging from very small to huge, from bright, beautiful colors to more mild, gentle tones. They have many, many different breeds of orchids and clearly know how to grow and take care of them very well. I was looking for an orchid that was relatively easy to grow that wouldn't require too much attention. The worker showed me several different types of orchids that fit my preferences and also gave me very great detail and information on how to take care of them well. He was very passionate about what he did and I was glad to be able to support a store like this. The only thing that was a bit frustrating was that many of the plants did not have price tags so I had to consistently go up and ask him. You must also watch out for plants that have a red stick on them because those are not for sale and are just being kept in the greenhouse to breed. However, my trip here overall was a great experience and the whole staff was very friendly. I will definitely look forward to coming back here again if I ever want to purchase more orchids. On a side note, they also have an alpaca farm right outside their greenhouse and it was really cute to see!

They're one of the stores that carry this variety as it is a new species pansy that launched last year.

I'm sure if you go during the regular open seasons, they will be full of different variety of plants. Very clean store and well organize. The staffs are friendly and very helpful. Their prices are pretty decent, especially when it comes to those Japanese pansy that other place charged double. I would definitely recommend this place beside that 1 Hour drive up to Isanti.

Garden City in St. Anthony is a small greenhouse that pops up for the summer months in a shopping center parking lot. The selection is terrific with flowers, herbs, and food plants. Buying from a local greenhouse means your plants are setup for success. They are well taken care of and the workers can help you identify what will suit your space the best. Additionally, at ~$6 per annual, I found it to be fair. Considering the care and growth potential of the flowers. My window boxes have never looked better. Highly recommend!!!

The owner said loudly that she hated opera! Was that necessary? To hate what I did for ten years? She was extremely dismissive and went on to correct me in front of this other customer, which came off to me as highly arrogant, pretty hostile and demeaning.
