Welcome to the Vagary

At the Vagary we grow perennials, native plants, and herbs for the Minneapolis/Saint Paul area. Our plants are sold at the Downtown St. Paul Farmers’ Market, at a Memorial Day Sale at our home, and by special order in the Twin Cities area.

the Vagary at Market

It's springtime at the Vagary, and we're busy growing new plants for the 2008 season. Our interest in natives plants continues to grow, and we will offer a large selection of native grasses and forbs this year, as well as a large variety of plants that attract butterfiles.

Now is a good time to contact us by email at if you would like to place a special order for this spring, or if you have any questions about plant availability.

We will be selling at the Downtown St. Paul Farmers’ Market on Saturday and Sunday through the end of June. Our last weekend at market this year will be Saturday and Sunday, June 28th and 29th. The market is open from 6 AM to 1 PM on Saturday, and from 8 AM to 1 PM on Sunday.

Hope to see you soon!

Recycling Plastic Pots

Many of our customers have asked us about returning plastic pots for reuse or recycling. While we do reuse our plastic trays and tray liners, as well as some of the larger 4 inch square and 6 inch round pots, most of our plants are sold in 3 1/2 inch sheet pots, which can only be used once.

However, we were excited to discover that a number of nursery locations are now accepting plastic pots for recycling. More information can be found at the Garden Minnesota Recycling Program web page.
