Spring is in the air!

"Grown with pride from Hillside!"
We are excited to kick off our 26th Season, with opening day set for April 6th.
This year begins a little differently for us. My mom passed away on November 25, 2025,
and we will be laying her cremains to rest on April 3rd, which is why we are opening a bit later this season.
As you walk past the front of the Gift Shop, you'll notice memorial wind chimes. Please think of her as you pass by - her presence at the garden center will be deeply missed.
As a tribute to her, you'll find her walker at the back door, where she loved to sit and soak up the sunshine. There will be a sign there where you are welcome to write a few words if you choose. She loved when she could direct you to the plant you were looking for and also loved it when you stopped to chat with her. She always joked that all she did anymore was tell people where to go!!
I don't think she ever missed a March Planting Day, when family and friends gathered to plant thousands of plants together. Her absence will be deeply felt this year,
but her spirt will always remain a part of Hillside.
I have dug out lots of fun treasures I've found at antique shops, and you will see many of them planted up, styled, and available for purchase in the greenhouses! Stop out for inspirations and ideas you can create at home!
Have some unique containers of your own? Bring them along to one of our "Plant Your Own Container" events! I'll help you choose plants that work best for your pieces and share tips and tricks for planting in vintage and repurposed finds.
Two customer favorite events are "Plant Your Own Container" and "Fairy Garden Days!" Both are held on multiple dates including some weekends.
Can't make it on the scheduled dates? No worries at all! Call Karen at 507-271-8347 to set up a time that works for you!

A lot of planning goes into what Hillside grows each year! We carefully consider colors, textures, plant habits, and the latest trends. By attending trade shows and plant trials, we see new plant introductions firsthand and learn how to use them best. This allows us to offer a well-rounded selection so you have everything you need to be a successful gardener.

For 26 years, we've been growing plants for our customers with care and purpose. By listening to your needs, we provide everything you need to create beautiful gardens and plant arrangements for your outdoor spaces. We offer seasonal color through annuals, perennials, tropicals, succulents and herbs - all while encouraging creativity. O
