Wagners Garden Center - spruce tips! - Nurseries & Gardening Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

This review is really for the seasonal holiday market that was at Wagner's during the weeks leading up to Christmas. I was super impressed with the number and variety of local vendors that they lined up. I got a ton of Christmas shopping done. I also loved that I was able to do a little shopping for myself, picking up a few plants that were on sale. I haven't shopped at Wagner's before, but their house plant selection looked excellent and I plan to go back after the holidays. read more

Drove by this location on our way to breakfast. Stopped here afterwards and found a cute planter and plant I've been looking for! It is smaller, but what's inside is great - a lot of variety that you would find at Gerten's. I found the pilea moon valley plant I've been searching for. That was an unexpected birthday weekend treat. There were a lot of planters and tables I had my eye on. I'll have to be back. read more

Top notch family run small greenhouse! I highly recommend buying from Wagner to support a local business and get the best selection of plants. I've bought amazing shrubbery and native plants, all of which are thriving! read more

A friend had nothing but great things to say about this place. I've tried to come here 3 times and absolutely no luck. Online hours say they are open, but that's definitely incorrect. Highly suggest to update online/social media with correct hours of operation (if this hasn't been done yet). I will not continue to go out of my way to check this place out, if I'm in the area and they are actually open, I may pop in. read more

Very disappointed in the response I received when I returned expensive evergreen shrubs that were supposed to survive temperatures of -30 below zero. Our temperatures were no where near that cold this year. Neither plant survived after one growing season. In fact absolutely no foliage was visible, just the base of the evergreen stems. Wagners told me they don't guarantee their plants. I will no longer be shopping at this place when so many other garden centers provide guarantees for their plants. Very, very disappointed Wagners. You need to do better for the high prices you charge. read more

I am normally a devoted Bachmans shopper, but I was out and about and figured I might as well check out one of the local options nearby. Wagners is impressively huge... when you pull into the big parking lot, the building stretches on and on. I did find the layout slightly confusing. I kind of had to wander around for awhile before I figured out which way to go to get outside, inside or over to the cash registers. The inside portion of the store is small with an abundance of pots that you can buy. I enjoyed looking at the many options because I hadn't seen many of them before. It was a really impressive display. But I did find it odd that there were no yard decor type items (I've been looking for a spinner) and the section with the different types of soil was very small and right up front by the registers. Seemed like they sell a very limited selection of Miracle Gro soil products and that's it. Maybe I missed a larger section outside or something, totally possible. Also the inside area of the store had zero ventilation and was really hot and stuffy. Inside the greenhouse area, the plants are magnificent. Big, beautiful and abundant. I almost bought an entire tray of salvia because they were just so darn pretty before talking myself off the ledge ("You need to have a place in mind to plant them BEFORE you buy them, self!") and putting them regrettably back in place. Staff was generally friendly. Would definitely come back if I was in the area but not sure I'd make a special trip. read more

Hm. There's not much to look at here. It's small (not huge like Gerten's, or even as big as Bachman's). There were quite a few unique pots and planters, but the selection of annuals and perennials was meager. Just a handful of each type. It's like a really small Home Depot garden center. Not worth a trip. read more

Wagners is our go to place for garden supplies and plants. They are medium sized compared to other nearby garden stores - smaller than Bachmans but larger than Tangletown. Their prices are reasonable and they have a large selection. They don't sell lawn furniture and do not have the range of indoor plants as does Bachmans large store on Lyndale nor do they offer gardening services. However, we have always found the staff to be knowledgeable and helpful. Check out staff are friendly and efficient. During normal times they can be very busy but they do a good job of handling the crowds. During the pandemic we feel that they have done a particularly good job at keeping customers and staff at appropriate distances and they require masks. They also have a frequent buyer program and parking is convenient. We highly recommend. read more

As of late, Wagner's doesn't stand behind its products period. I bought a succulent that died within 3 weeks. The staff person was quite rude and said the plant was not dead but if it was, it was my fault. She also stated that there is no warranty of any kind on houseplants. So Wagner's chooses to blow off a 20 year customer for a plant that cost less than $10. I won't be returning to this store. read more

Excellent local garden center which grows many of its own plants. Main location on Penn Ave has existed in SW Mpls since 1907. Family owned. read more

Nice people and a wide selection of gardening plants and accessories. Perhaps not the cheapest, but their plants are great quality and the selection of annual and perennial plants is pretty broad. read more

I sometimes will do landscaping projects for people because it's an enjoyable activity, and you get payed to get a good workout. When I do this my favorite place to get shrubs and plants is Wagner's, they've got the best performing shrubs and perennials I've seen. For example I've gotten roses elsewhere and they have yet to bloom after a full year, some even after 2 years. The ones I got from Wagners have been consistently blooming since the time they were planted. Other shrubs such as the Euphorbia I got there has both amazing foliage all season and amazing flowers in the Spring, it too has been a very healthy plant. This place has excellent quality stuff in a pleasant shopping atmosphere, and when you need help there are knowledgeable people around to give it to you. I gave up seeking help at big box places after a Garden Center employee there didn't even know what Lavender was when I asked if they carried it, really are you serious? If you want great plants and shrubs, and helpful people to help you find the right one for you, come here I'm sure you will not be dissapointed. read more

Went there yesterday to buy a Christmas tree and when I was wiping a bit of snow off my truck so I could open my topper a very entitled woman yelled at me telling me not to do that here because they had already had the parking lot cleared. Lost my business, and by the looks of the empty parking lot all the time they need all the business they can get read more

Called regarding if they had lillipot carnations very rude clerk tried to tell me dianthsis were same as carnation - dianthsis is botinical name and lillipot is common name got a rude "good luck" and hang up- not first time clerks know little and cared little -same at bloomington location- Called Wal-Mart (googled carnation and got them) clerk checked said she remembered them from last year and asked if I would like call on tues when shipment came in - that is the service I would expect from Wagners not from Wal-Mart read more

Buyer beware. They have different prices on the same plants and all jumbled together. Some prices are tags, some stickers, get up to check out and same plants are different prices. Management EXTREMELY rude and snotty when this was pointed out and she said this was clearly my fault and there was nothing wrong with their system. I pointed out it was not customer user friendly or easy to see and manager said that was my problem. Been to wagners before and they are very expensive. Save yourself the headache and go elsewhere. read more

As I said in my earlier review we would back next year and well we came back!! I have to say I am impressed with staff, they are very knowledgeable and not snotty about it. I decided this year to add in the perennials. They helped me pick a great variety for the avenue/boulevard (potato potahto). I also picked up a great variety of annuals and plan to go back later in the season for the remaining flowers. Definitely a place worth checking out. read more

They have a great staff and most of they grow their own plants. They actually hire people with college degree's on growing plants, they dont just truck them in, and have high school kids selling them. Well, they do have some younger employee's, but they do have experts on staff for questions they cant answer. It's a family owned business and they're from Minnesota. read more

Really fun place to shop for houseplants. They had a nice collection in the fall and I'm sure in the summer they have even more plants to pick from. They have some great organic products and earth friendly pots. The staff was super friendly and helpful. Will be returning for more cute plants for my home. read more

love this place uwu super cute and friendly cashiers and sales staff, very efficient, super long line during memorial day weekend but went by surprisingly quick, one of the best plant selections in the twin cities, very friendly managers read more

We went to Wagner's because we had a coupon. It was godawful crowded and we waited in line for 20 minutes. When we finally got to the register, they could not figure out how to make the coupon work. It took another 15 minutes. When we got home, I looked at the receipt and noticed they never even took the coupon money off. My husband went back to rectify the mistake with the receipt in hand and the manager said she was "too busy to deal with it" and sent him away. The worst customer service I have ever experienced. And they owe us some money. read more
