Welcome to the Vagary

For more than 25 years the Vagary has grown perennials, native plants, and herbs for sale in the Minneapolis/St. Paul Twin Cities area. We sell plants at the St. Paul Farmers' Market downtown location on Sundays from late April through the beginning of July, at Event Sales at our home, and by special order.



St. Paul Farmers' Market Schedule Changes in 2012

Our sales at the St. Paul Farmers' Market will change in 2012. WE WILL NO LONGER BE AT MARKET ON SATURDAYS. We will be at the Market on SUNDAYS ONLY, from opening Sunday on April 29th through the beginning of July. Sunday market hours are from 8 AM to 1 PM.





Spring Plant Sale at the Vagary

Spring Plant Sale at the Vagary

This year our Spring Plant Sale will be on two consecutive Saturdays, May 12th and May 19th, from 9 AM to 2 PM each Saturday. We are able to offer our widest selection of the perennials, natives, and herbs that we carry at our Spring Plant Sale. In addition, we will be selling several varieties of tomato and pepper plants. We will also have a few annuals that attract butterflies and hummingbirds.


In the past we have heard from customers who were unable to make it to our Spring Plant Sale because of other commitments on the weekend of the sale. We hope that having the sale on two consecutive Saturdays will allow more customers to take advantage of the sale, and provide some “insurance” against rainy weather on sale day. We have scheduled the sale during the prime spring planting season to offer our customers great plants at good prices with discounts for larger quantities.


The Vagary is located about 30 miles (40 minutes) south of downtown St. Paul. Our address is 26050 Emery Avenue, Randolph, MN 55065. We are on Highway 56 (Emery Avenue) at 260th Street, between Hampton and Randolph. You can find us using our address with your GPS device or services such as Google or Mapquest, or use our map.

We accept cash and personal checks for payment at our Spring Plant Sale. We are not able to accept credit or debit cards.




Native Plant Expo and Market

The Vagary will be one of the eleven participants at the Landscape Revival: Native Plant Expo and Market sponsored by the St. Paul Autubon Society. The event will be held on Saturday, June 2nd from 9 AM to 3 PM at the Community Pavilion at the Roseville Rainbow Foods in Roseville, Minnesota.
