Shhhhh!!!!!!!
This is our secret.
The cutest little greenhouse on earth, tucked away at the end of a little dirt driveway through some trees and over a creek. Architectural relics of Sandstone's limestone quarry adds to the uniqueness.
Quarry Greenhouse is now 10 years old and it gets better every year. Today, the nasturtiums are huge (for $4.25), the glory of the hanging baskets is endless, the selection of plum, apricot, pear, cherry and apple trees at reasonable prices is the biggest temptation on earth.
We've already brought home the first apple tree (and we chose a slightly smaller one because the average size trees wouldn't fit in our full sized pick-up).
Checking the trees in our mini-orchard is on the top of the list today.....how did Old Man Winter treat our future fruit-bearers???? We know we lost a pear tree and one of our beautiful cherries......we'll have a good idea in a couple of
Housed in an old stone building, this place is magical. The owners started out small a decade ago, but their dedication and hard work have grown the place from a seedling to a sturdy-tree as a fixture in the community of Sandstone. Every year they add
The vegetable plants are beginning to get to the size they need to survive outside....remember, this is in Zone 3, so tomatoes don't go in the ground unprotected for a few more weeks. Seed packets, lots of seed potatoes, onion sets, trees, vegetable plants and room
It's a great place to start the outdoor season or just take a nice drive with your mom for Mother's Day.
Quarry Greenhouse in Sandstone MN (we'd give you exact directions, but their sign is small and unobtrusive, and we want to have a good selection when we get there---they sold out all the trees last year---go figure). So, you're on your own!!!!
