About us

Tangletown Gardens showcases more than 3,000 perennial varieties (but who's counting), an incredible annual and heirloom vegetable selection along with unusual woody shrubs and trees. We also carry an extensive array of aquatic plants, fountains, and water features. Our indoor plant selection offers a sure cure for even the most severe case of cabin fever. The majority of our plant stock is grown at Tangletown Gardens' greenhouse facility near Plato, Minnesota. Fresh material is brought in to the garden center from our 40 acre farm regularly to ensure the highest quality. We are proud that our plants are grown using principles of sustainable agriculture. To optimize their health and performance at the nursery and in your garden, our plants grow with the best care possible. Although most of our plant material is Tangletown grown, to provide unique and unusual plants we round out our offerings with plants from small local growers who share our philosophy of high quality. And who practice, like us, sustainable agriculture. In addition, we have select growers throughout the world providing new and unusual plants never before available locally.

Visit us often, and be inspired by our ever changing boulevard and container gardens. We are proud that our plants are grown using principles of sustainable agriculture—for us, it is the only way we’ll grow. We’ve recently invested in low carbon emission, high efficiency biomass furnaces to heat our greenhouses and to free our dependence on fossil fuel. In addition we have switched most of our greenhouse fertility to seed extract based fertilizers, and regularly seek natural pest control options to control insect and disease challenges when they arise. For us sustainability isn’t just the latest buzz word, but a responsible way to grow the best quality plants for you, while respecting the earth. Because our plants are locally grown, we support local economies while reducing our carbon footprint—something you can be proud of too. We welcome your special orders, comments, and suggestions.

Tangletown has an interesting and unusual variety of plants for retail sale, mostly ( but not exclusively) for outdoor plantings.  I find that the plants are not always watered as well as they should be, so often the plants look a bit withered and in need of "revival." Tangletown's prices are somewhat higher for the same plants found at other nurseries.  But again, Tangletown offers some unusual varieties that are not seen at other nurseries.  I have sometimes found it difficult to find sales  assistance when I  am looking for something or want to make a purchase  They seem to be short-handed and I end up having to hunt around for someone to assist.
This can be irritating when you are in a rush.
The owner has a good eye for pairing and arranging planters that make them interesting and unusual.  He will provide assistance and suggestions if requested and he is not otherwise busy  ( though sometimes begrudgingly).  I make one annual trip to Tangletown each Spring after my garden is planted and when I am ready to plant my pots.   I like the unusual variety and most often find a few things I want to purchase.  But for the "standard fare" I shop at other nurseries that offer better prices.

I was contacted within a day or two of leaving an inquiry on the company's website.  I made an appointment with the designer to come out and look at the yard and discuss. The designer, Angie T. was very easy to work with and welcomed all of my questions and suggestions.  She promised to have the final design to me in a week's time - and she did.  She called to make appointment to look at her design - she was on time and the design was outstanding and totally within budget. We are about to start a remodel - therefore the design also needed to include plans for a Phase 2 once the remodel is complete.  I supplied her with the architects drawings/plans and the survey of our property - both of which she was able to understand and utilize to the fullest. Our house sits on a acre lot and there are many areas of plantings of all types.  I really appreciated that Angie was able to see what I have done in the past and what I like and incorporate that into a new and fresh approach. She was happy to help with suggestions and some foundations for the areas I intend to refresh or replant myself.  With great expertise she utilized my existing perennials including a large amount of hosta.  As I have been collecting hosta for over 20 years I was looking for a better showcase and companion plantings for them - and this was provided with ease.
The crew arrived early and on the day they promised.  All of the crew members were friendly and worked steadily and efficiently.  It was a pleasure to have them here.  They were all polite and respectful of my yard and my dogs.  I consider every one of them a credit to Tangletown.  I never heard a complaint or frustration expressed.  It was a seamless installation from my point of view.  
I am thrilled with the selection of plants and shrubbery that Angie selected.  I was truly amazed at how well Angie seemed to understand instinctively what I would like and even though I had a doubt about one or two items I decided early on to let her make the decisions.  Any trepidation I had was quickly squashed.  The end result design is stunning.  This is why you hire a professional.
Having battled black plastic edging for many years - I am so pleased with the metal iron edging they replaced it with.  The crew did a fabulous job installing it - following the curves, etc.  It's perfect - subtle, tidy and much easier to mow next to.
An impressive job was also done on the cutting and installation of the stone for the new walkway and planter.  Gorgeous work!
Hiring Tangletown has been a wish of mine since the day they opened their nursery. I have always loved their place and it's unique style and welcoming staff.  It took many years for landscaping to get top position on the priority list - I am thrilled and relieved to have picked Tangletown.
I had been in contact with two other nurseries but they were a hassle to deal with - changing appointments, etc.  Angie impressed me from the beginning with her enthusiasm and eagerness to design this project.  She sold me from day one!
Thank you for your outstanding service.  I can hardly wait until next Spring when we complete Phase 2.
