About Us
Three Timbers Minnesota is a Twin Cities plant delivery company built around a simple promise: every plant we sell is one we'd put in our own yard, and we'll bring it to yours so you don't have to wrangle a pickup truck through Saturday afternoon traffic at the garden center.
What's different about Three Timbers
Zone-hardy by default
Every plant we stock is proven reliable for USDA zone 4bโ5a. No "hardy in some climates" labels. If we don't believe it'll survive a Minnesota winter, we don't sell it.
Native-forward
We lead with Minnesota natives whenever possible โ the plants that built this state's landscape long before the big-box garden center brought in southeast ornamentals.
Delivered, not hauled
We bring plants to your yard, staged where you want them. No truck rental, no garden center crowds, no dripping root balls in the back seat. Optional installation if you'd rather not dig.
Local knowledge
We live here. We garden here. We fight the same clay soil, deer, and winters you do. Questions about your shade corner or rain garden? We've probably planted something there ourselves.
From Phoenix to Minnesota
Three Timbers started in Phoenix, where we built our reputation delivering drought-tolerant Southwest plants directly to homeowners' yards โ so they didn't have to drive a pickup full of dripping cactus through Loop 101 in 110-degree heat.
After years of doing it right in Arizona, we expanded to Minnesota in 2026 because the problem here is the same problem we solved there: homeowners want good plants, local advice, and direct delivery. Most nurseries here still require a trip, a truck, and someone to help you unload.
Different climate, different plant list, same approach.
What we don't do
We don't sell plants we wouldn't put in our own yards. If a plant is "marginally hardy" or routinely struggles in zone 4, it doesn't make the catalog.
We don't ship plants in cardboard boxes from a warehouse three states away. Plants are sourced from Upper Midwest growers and delivered locally in our own vehicles.
We don't push the zone. If a plant is borderline for the Twin Cities, we say so โ or we just don't carry it.
Service area
We deliver across the Twin Cities seven-county metro โ from Wayzata to Woodbury, Lakeville to Lino Lakes, and everywhere in between. Free local delivery on orders $200 and up.
Just outside our standard radius? Contact us โ we still might be able to help.
Looking for our Arizona store? If you landed here from threetimbersshop.com or you're shopping for a winter home in Phoenix, our Arizona team handles drought-tolerant Southwest plants. Different plants, different climate, same direct delivery.
