We will be shipping plants for
web orders Monday and Tuesday
We will be located at 1636 Como
Avenue, St. Paul, MN 55108 on
the south border of the
Minnesota State Fair Grounds.
We are 300 yards west of
Snelling Avenue on the south
side of Como Avenue across from
the State Fair. Please enter
through the gate off the west
side of our lot.
We have purchased a flexible new
structure this year that will
keep the plants and shoppers
protected from wind and rain.
The structure can be opened to
allow a nice breeze on those
days that are not as windy.
We will have all of our Best
Value TC hostas for sale at this
location. The plants will be
identified with signs which
contain much of the same
information available on our web
site - a large picture of the
hosta and many details about the
plant.
We will also display and sell
our apparel, tools and IDeal(TM)GardenMarker
products. |

We seek to temporarily retail at
other locations in Minnesota.
Please help! |
We can easily transport all of
our varieties of hostas and
display racks to nearly any
location in Minnesota where
there might be demand. If you
would like to earn free plants,
or just help your friends find
great plants, please help! This
could be a lot of fun!
We need a parking lot where we
can unload our carts and display
our plants. Each cart is 43"
wide by 46" long and 8' high.
We could bring up to 10 carts -
which can hold 12,000 hostas.
Ideally, we would like at least
one other person to help check
people out and serve the
public. Parking lots might be
found in privately owned
businesses that have some space,
churches, etc. We believe our
business will attract additional
business to surrounding vendors.
Please contact me directly by
email
tomcarlson@hostasdirect.com
if you are interested in working
or have temporary retail
location suggestions. Thanks
very much.
