Highland Nursery

I first discovered this nursery 25 yrs ago because it was a favorite of one of my Grandmothers friends. This incredible woman knew a gem when she found one snd today Highland Nursery is a place I send my friends across the city to see. Its not a big box shop, its a garden boutique and a gem of one. My favorite for sure and its 30 plus miles from my house. If you are looking for hard to find plants and grasses, great concrete statues and iron work. My husband even likes this place and his friend who helped him pick up a iron piece for me said wow impressive your wife sure has class.
Highland is nothing short of five stars.

I have been here a few times mostly for their flowers and gardening materials. I find this to be a great place to find some good quality materials for my garden.
This place has a great variety of flowers and materials for choosing. I usually do not have any problem with them carrying what I am looking for when I have a particular something in mind. The only thing I can think of for improvement is to pay better attention to the aging of the flowers. A couple times, I have bought flowers from them, and they died shortly after. I was sad when that happened.
The employees appear to have a good eye with cleanliness and order. I have never had a problem with any major messes or clutter. Their merchandise is well organized. I am usually able to find what I am looking for easily. Therefore, I feel comfortable walking around to shop for some flowers or merchandise.
The employees are friendly, helpful, and resourceful when I need it. Most of them seem to have a good knowledge of gardening. I have always felt comfortable asking them questions. Some of them area great with suggestions they may have. I have taken up some of their suggestions, and my yard looks terrific thanks to them.
I the future, when I am in the area and in need for some good flowers or gardening materials, I will continue to keep this place in mind. For now, I will pay more attention to how old the flowers are. As long as I can do that, I should be fine for now.

Have shopped here for years. Owners are friendly and very knowledgable. If you can’t find a plant that will grow in a particular place or have a slug problem they always have a solution. Expensive, but then all the other, cheaper places have gone out of business– so I think they know what they’re doing. If you want cheap go to Home Depot or Walmart but only if you know the day the plants arrive and don’t care about bees. I don’t find it disorganized– everything is where it’s always been. This is an old gas station that grew and grew like adding on to an old house. Oh, and in season it’s quite crowded. So, a lot of other people must find it useful and convenient. I don’t understand the negative reviews. Highland Nursery is not perfect (neither is Gertens or Bachmans) but it’s very good and we’re lucky it’s close to home!

It’s a beautiful place with healthy looking flowers and plants. However, I agree it’s incredibly disorganized. I hate having to buy several plants, toting a cart around the small aisles. I’ve also had several experiences where the staff is just rude. If you have a question for them, they act as if you’re bothering them. Not great.

I’ve been coming here for years to purchase my mom a moss hanging basket. She absolutely loves them they have always been overpriced but now they’re $ 80. That’s just way too much to pay for a hanging basket and they don’t make them as pretty as they used to. That used to cut in the side of the moss and have flowers hanging out of it now there only just planted normal in the top. I was surprised at all the negative reviews on Unilocal for this business but I’m starting to agree with everyone else. I was here for about a half an hour looking around and trying to find something else other than an overpriced hanging basket. None of the employees ever said hello or smiled at me or asked if I needed help finding anything. I really used to like it here they have a great variety of plants you can’t find anywhere else. But $ 80 for a bowl of moss with flowers in it. Sorry mom but you’re getting something else it’ll last a lot longer than one summer.

By far my favorite Nursery in the Twin Cities. The best selection and variety I’ve seen around. The owners are basically a walking encyclopedia of knowledge. I love that they always have a smile on their face as well. You can tell they have a passion for what they do. Such beautiful grounds to explore and discover. Every year it’s nice to know they can make my yard a beautiful.

A very beautiful place if you have the time to meander. Great selection however some plants weren’t in the best of shape. Also, some items are very overpriced. I needed help finding something and asked for help. The employee seemed very rushed and stressed. Not what I’d expect from a privately owned garden store.

I witnessed an employee or owner scream at the top of her lungs for an elderly customer to get out of the store. It was 10:20 in the morning. The flower shop had only been open 20 minutes. I don’t know what the man did or said, but it was very unsettling to all the other customers in the shop. The whole staff acted like this was normal behavior or were afraid she was going to loose it again. Most garden shops workers are working overtime… you did not need to scream that in the man’s face. It was an awful start to my Memorial Day weekend. I like to shop my local store… I will not be going back to Highland Nursery.

Unorganized, which drives me crazy when I’m looking for specific things, but beautiful to walk around when I’m just browsing.
