Tangletown Gardens

Best garden center EVER! You need to see. Even have a super cute cat that is lovely

I did not see much variety here, and the prices were very high. Nobody talked to me after about 20 mins and then I left. The cat is very cute though

Nice plants, but very expensive, even the annuals.

I bought a milkweed plant here last year after talking with one of the staff who seemed confident and knowledgeable about the plants and as a beginner in gardening I felt like I could follow their advice with how confident they were. I did inform them that I live in an apartment and planned to keep the plant on the balcony in a pot and they never mentioned any concern with this. They also informed us of their warranty where if a perennial doesn’t come back in the spring you can bring the plant back to return for a refund or exchange (with no mention that the plant must be planted in the ground for them to honor the warranty). Now fast forward a year later, my plant did not come back in the spring so I brought the plant back to see if they could let me know what went wrong and honor the warranty they mentioned. The manager and employee had both blamed us for taking the advice of one of their employees and in their explanation of perennials needing to be planted into the ground not potted to come back spoke to me very rudely and made me feel stupid for thinking that a potted perennial plant would come back… It felt pretty humiliating being talked down to in this way in front of other customers and employees even though we clearly were beginners and explained we had followed the advice their own staff had given us. Despite this, all we got was “I am sorry you received misinformation” with no refund or exchange let alone a genuine apology. I am only giving 2 stars for the fact that they did take my dead plant and dirt to compost. I wouldn’t recommend coming to this business if you don’t already have a strong knowledge of plants or are a beginner. This was super disheartening to me as I wanted to continue to support small businesses in the area rather than big chain garden centers. As a beginner, there are lots of very supportive, kind, and knowledgeable garden centers around the Twin Cities where you can be treated with more respect.

Without a doubt the best around. They are the only ones that have the Japanese maples I want and they have an impressive inventory onsite
