ABOUT
Hi There!
Hello, we are Polly Ann's Greenhouse family-owned and operated by Kim and Shelly in Oak Grove, MN. We have always had a "green thumb" and a love of nature. Prior to moving to the Oak Grove area, we lived in Coon Rapids and during Covid built a small greenhouse in the backyard that supplied our flower beds and Koi pond with beautiful flowers.
Our mission is to bring the beauty of nature to you by offering a variety of hanging baskets, annuals or perennials that we grow right here on our farm. We are not certified organic - but we do try to minimize the amount of chemical fertilizers and pesticides that we use as much as possible. We take great pride in providing a quality plant and consider every plant we grow as our little babies and treat them as such.
If your wondering why Polly Ann's Greenhouse vs. Kim and Shelly's Greenhouse. Well, first Polly Ann's flows better and second it was named after two important people in our lives that also shared a love for flowers and gardening. Polly was Kim's mom who passed away at a young age and Ann was Shelly's very close family friend who has also passed on to a better place. We'd like to think that they are up in heaven surrounded by a beautiful garden like no other!
A Note from SHELLY:
The curse of the thunbergia
We used to have a home in Coon Rapids, and our yard was filled with flowers. Every spring I would drive out to Gertens in Inver Grove Heights to purchase two 16" Lemon Thunbergia hanging baskets for our patio. ($65 each) These plants loved the patio, and would spread 2 feet wide and grow 8 feet up the pergola! They always looked great.
One year I decided "I can grow these - I don't need to drive to Gertens and spend so much money on two plants!"
So we built a small green house out of pallets and old windows, and started planting seeds.
It was the start of this crazy dream. We soon made the decision to sell the house and buy a property big enough for a real greenhouse.
YES - we spent $50,000+ on a new business so I could save spending $130 each year for 2 plants.
Thunbergia's will always be a plant we sell - however they are very difficult in a small greenhouse, and take many man hours to control. The vines grow rapidly once they get started, and they wrap themselves around the other plants and the ceiling braces. (There is always a little cursing when we are untangling them.)
This year we will offer them in White, Gold, Brownie, Amber Stripe, Pink and classic Lemon.
