Why Hanson's? We are primarily plant growers, the vast majority of which we grow ourselves. Our major emphasis is with the "outdoor" plant business in all of its aspects:
Annuals
Vegetables
Hanging Baskets and Planters
Perennials
Trees and Shrubs
Native plants for both gardens and restoration efforts
Water garden plants (primarily natives)
Fall Mums, Kale, Asters, & Pumpkins
We are active in plant evaluation for Northern gardens and in breeding plants for the Northwoods and the world. There are several thousand square feet of display and test gardens that our customers can enjoy and learn from.
We are recognized leaders in the area of producing native regional plants, and in their uses; and we are active in the designing and installation of lakeshore restorations in particular. We are sincere promoters of sustainable landscape practices.
Hanson's Garden Village offers more than just plant material. We stock, besides the gardening basics, many interesting, unusual, and "artsy" garden items. You can also find landscaping necessities like bulk and bagged mulches, composts, and topsoil, lawn edging and weed barrier, erosion blankets, grass and wildflower seed, and much, much more. We are the Northwoods source for Envirolok bags, the environmental alternative to retaining walls.
After the busy spring season, some members of our staff become quite busy with landscape design projects - anything from foundation plantings to herb gardens to perennial beds to native plantings. While we do not typically do actual installation work (except for some smaller projects), we can help by suggesting someone from our network of tried-and-true landscape firms that we partner with.
In autumn, we are busy helping folks with their fall decorating needs: all the plants, plus pumpkins, straw bales, corn stalks, and much more.
November through January is about the only time that you will find us "closed to the public". We spend this time producing and cultivating all of the beautiful flowers we sell in the spring.
Our hours change with the seasons, so please check our main page for information on when we are open to the public. You can also follow us on Facebook and Yelp!
