About
Lynde Greenhouse & Nursery has been owned and operated by five generations of the Lynde family. We first started producing plants and vegetables in Golden Valley around 1900 and found a niche in growing and selling flowers after WWI. In 1971 we moved to our current location in Maple Grove.
As the business continued to grow the labor also increased, which is why in 1993 we became the first greenhouse in the state of Minnesota to install permanent conveyors to transport our plant products on-site.
Today, we produce plants for our retail garden center, residential and commercial off-site installations, wholesalers like landscapers and retailers, and our fundraising programs.

Spend your evening out on the patio grilling, seasoning, and preparing something delicious for the whole family. This will not only get people enjoying the outdoors, but it can also be a fun family night to hangout, cook, and enjoy together.
The past year has been stressful for many. I don’t know how many times the phrase ‘these unprecedented times’ has been used, but I think we can agree many times too many! It’s ok to disconnect from the news, social media, and the entire world. In actuality, it is much needed. We all need a place to escape to calm our thoughts and take a little ‘me time.’ Here are three ways to help create a tranquil place to rest.
Cozy up with new patio furniture adding colorful or vibrant cushions. For shade set up an umbrella to escape from the heat of the sun. Surround yourself with lush greenery and your favorite blooming plants. String up outdoor lighting to continue the ambience into the evening hours.
Nothing drowns out the sounds of cars and traffic like the sound of trickling water against stone. There is a heavy focus on sight and smell in a garden, with sounds sometimes taking the backseat. Create a peaceful and tranquil place to enjoy. It could be as simple as a small water feature that can be enjoyed on a deck or patio, or as elaborate as small falls coming down a slope in your backyard.
Attract songbirds with tube feeders and bird seed like sunflower, safflower, or thistle seed. Introducing bird songs around your home can help create a tranquil setting. Take advantage of the windy days and harness the wind’s power through windchimes.
Bring the warm smell of a campfire to your backyard and heat up your cool summer evenings with a bonfire pit surrounded with friends and family. Know that your kids and family are gathering safely outdoors. Add chairs around the pit to roast marshmallows for smores and tell stories with the glow of fire before you. Add grasses or other low maintenance perennials around for daytime interest. While you have the campfire started, set up a tent and camp underneath the stars for a fun family weekend get-away in the backyard.
No Grass? No Problem! Add blankets and cushions to a patio or deck to enjoy a bit of sun and air. Or just grab a chair and make do with what you have.
Refreshing your yard may be as simple as adding a patio for places to gather, relax, or entertain close family and friends or adding a bonfire pit for those cool summer nights. Or it could mean a complete outdoor experience bringing your kitchen and dining experience into nature.
There were many new things I explored during the pandemic, but the most interesting and rewarding was cooking. With restaurants shut down here and there throughout the year, I turned to the kitchen to test my skills. If this sounds like you, this will be a great match for you. This summer, why not take your culinary experience to the next level, creating an outdoor kitchen. Spend your evening out on the patio grilling up something delicious for the family. An outdoor kitchen is practical and certainly enjoyable, almost like opening a mini restaurant.
Going native is another trend that made the list. Incorporating plants that are native to Minnesota is a sure way to know that the plant can and will survive in our zone. Once native plants are established, they need very little care, making them easy to care for. There are many native plants that work well in landscapes, whether you are looking for something more manicured or natural. These plants will not grow beyond their mature size, which means they will not overtake the garden.
Bees and other pollinators play a huge roll in nature. Without them working hard, going from food source to food source, many of our wonderful fruits and vegetables would not be available. Unfortunately, the bee population has been declining for many years. That’s why it is so important and crucial to incorporate pollinator friendly plants and flowers into your garden. This is especially true if you have a vegetable garden. Attracting pollinators to your garden with as many food sources as possible is the best way to ensure a wonderful summer crop.
We all want our landscapes to look wonderful, lush, and full, but we all don’t have the time to spend in the garden making it so. Of course, there is no such plant that doesn’t require no attention. Just like humans, plants need light, water, a good environment, and nutrients to keep them happy. There are many different types of plants and some that are more independent than others. Plants that flower require more attention and maintenance to keep them happy and healthy.
There are many ways to grow your own food. For larger spaces with ample sunlight you may consider growing directly in the ground, working compost into the mixture for proper nutrients. Keep the critters out and help divide your garden with raised ground beds. For smaller spaces potted gardens can work. Keep in mind that mass producing veggies like tomatoes and vining veggies will need room to grow both in root system and in size, but with a large container and nutrients they will procure fruit. Herbs are a bit more manageable and flexible for many areas big or small. If you are starting out your ‘growing your own food’ adventure, herbs might be a good place to start!
The number one gardening trend is: just garden. If you are new to gardening or have been wanting to try something new, we at Lynde Greenhouse & Nursery recommend to just dive in. Most of our staff members have been gardening for many years, some even 20+, but you must start somewhere, right?
Where should you start? When trying anything new, there are challenges, but we all must start somewhere. The beauty of gardening is you will never get bored because there are so many different ways to garden. Maybe you want to explore growing your own food. Maybe you want to expand your perennial garden and provide beneficial plants for our pollinators. Maybe you are a houseplant parent looking to venture into container gardens. Whatever your interest, research and experimenting are going to be your best approach. At Lynde Greenhouse & Nursery, we suggest taking what you know and expand on it. Try and keep trying.

Bee Friendly/Pollinator Plants: ‘Bee Friendly’ plants will honestly always be a trend! Without our pollinators there would be no fruits and veggies for us to enjoy! Often when we think of plants for pollinators, perennials come to mind. Perennials are a wonderful way to incorporate pollen for insects, but what if space is an issue. That’s the beauty of pollinator plants, they come in many different forms. No matter what type of space you have, there is something for every style, that is what makes gardening so versatile. You will find many great pollinator plants in annuals, herbs, perennials, and even what we would consider weeds.
Container gardens are not a new concept by any means, but as trends change so does the design of container gardens. With so many annual options to pair together, creating a container garden can be fun and easy using the Thriller, Filler, Spiller method. But why stop there! Add tropical plants or houseplants to the mix. Caladiums work great for a mostly shaded area and why not add a colorful croton to your sunny containers. Cannas and elephant ears make great statement pieces for larger container gardens.
If you haven’t yet caught on to the houseplant trend it’s never too late to become a houseplant parent. There are lots of options to choose from at Lynde Greenhouse & Nursery which can make it a challenge to pick which one is the best fit. There are many online resources that can help determine the right plant for you.
With the uncertainty of school schedules and more time spent at home, getting the kids involved with more activities outside is a great way to keep them busy and keep them learning. Gardening is an outdoor activity and there is so much to learn. Where should you start if you are new to gardening too? Start small with seeds and learn together. There is no greater accomplishment in gardening than when your seeds sprout for the first time. Growing your own fruits and vegetables are great for kids too. Kids enjoy searching, finding, and eating straight from the garden. Strawberries and cherry tomatoes are a great bite size snack!
Also known as the Chrysanthemum, or mum for short. You are probably familiar with the perennial Chrysanthemum that comes back every year and blooms during the fall time. Growing in a greenhouse makes it possible to control elements like temperature, light, and water to create a spring blooming mum.
As you may know, here at Lynde Greenhouse & Nursery, we start our Garden mums by cuttings from a larger plant. These cuttings are no more than 3 inches tall and, with no root system, they must be stuck into the soil. Watering with a hose or a watering can would provide too much water and cause the cuttings to rot before it even had a chance to grow. Our misters help provide enough water for the cuttings to establish roots without over watering them.
Mums are wonderful for a pop of much needed color for Spring. They can be kept indoor as a blooming houseplant. Provide lots of bright light and keep evenly watered. The mums our growers have selected are based on three key features: color, a full growth habit, and strong structural integrity.

Know when to start your vegetables! 3-5 weeks before the last frost: Cabbage, cauliflower, kale, pumpkin, and cucumber are vegetables that need to be started about a month or so in advance of the last frost date to mature by the end of our growing season. Pumpkin and cucumbers can be bought in our garden center as starter plants for those that don’t have the means to grow inside.
Last year, our herb inventory moved very quickly. The interest in growing food increased, which only makes sense considering we were all stuck at home and grocery stores were trying to keep up with demand. The other alternative to store bought was growing your own herbs. Whether you start your own, buy start plants from your local garden center (Lynde Greenhouse), or buy freshly cut from the grocery store there is no denying how delicious they make our food and drinks. Like next level delicious.
Chive, mint, thyme, parsley, and oregano are some herbs that need to be started the earliest or as soon as possible. We start these herbs in the greenhouse a little bit early to have them ready for our customers.
Starting from seed might not be your thing, or even growing a plant may not be your thing, but if you have been thinking about trying to grow your own herbs, we are here to help!
Lemon balm, dill, sage, and basil are herbs that need to be started about 2 months before the last frost date. Once the weather is warm enough these plants can be transplanted into the garden or patio pot.
Once your herbs are outside in early Spring it’s important to watch the night temperatures. You don’t want your herb plants to freeze. If planted in containers, bringing them inside or a sheltered area can help protect the foliage. If they are planted in the ground it is best to insulate or cover your herbs creating a temporary pocket of warmer air until temperatures increase. Use bamboo stakes or half hoops to create a structure making sure your plants don’t get crushed and to create space for air circulation. Use a bed sheet, drop cloth, a light blanket/sheet, or plastic to create a suitable cover.
As the weather starts to warm up this week, it is hard not to get excited about planning for Spring and wanting to buy flowers. But Mother Nature can change on a whim, especially in Minnesota. Whether you are excited about outdoor annuals or perennials or working in more houseplants into your collection, there are many ways to incorporate plants into your life.
Houseplants are a great way to continue your gardening passion when the weather is still too cold out. Green foliage plants are always a welcome sight in a home when there is so much snow outside. As the days become longer and there is more sunshine throughout the day, blooming plants are a warm welcome, adding color along the way.
Know when to start your vegetables! 6-9 weeks before the last frost: Celery, peppers, eggplants, tomatoes, lettuce, and melon are vegetables that need to be started about 2 months before the last frost date because of their maturity rate. These plants can also be bought as starter plants in our garden center and can be transplanted directly into your garden, except for celery and melon.
Even if you love simple flowers for your home, we have it all! Stop my today at Lynde Greenhouse & Nursery to see all of our perennials, including our shasta daisies.

Watch the forecast and hope for warmer weather. Vegetables like beans, asparagus, beets, carrots, cucumbers, kale, lettuce, pumpkin, watermelon, onions, peas, potatoes, radish, rhubarb, spinach, and squash can all be planted directly into the garden given they have a maturity rate that fits within our summer growing season. You can, of course, start any of these by seed indoors, but it is not a requirement. Cucumbers, lettuce, pumpkins, watermelon, onions, and some squash can be bought in the garden center as starter plants and transplanted directly into your garden.
When it comes to starting vegetable gardens the weather is a huge factor for the success of a crop. Be sure to watch overnight temperatures before you plant. However, we don’t always know what mother nature is going to do, so there are ways to help protect your plants from a frost if need be.
The best way to protect your veggies from frost is to insulate or cover them creating a temporary pocket of warmer air until temperatures increase. Use bamboo stakes or half hoops to create a structure making sure your plants don’t get crushed and to create space for air circulation. Use a bed sheet, drop cloth, a light blanket, or plastic sheets to create a suitable cover.
Know when to start your vegetables! 10-12 weeks before the last frost: Brussel sprouts, leeks, broccoli, artichokes, and onions are vegetables that need to be started the earliest. These veggies take the longest to mature which is why they need to be started sooner rather than later.
