Monthly Archive: September 2018

Hard to believe that our 2018 peony season is almost over! Seems like almost yesterday the snow was melting and hopes of the spring peony season was soon at hand. Thank you to all our existing Swenson Gardens peonies family and new family members who have entrusted us to provide chemical free bare-root peonies. We do not take this responsibility lightly as growing peonies without chemicals is truly a labor of love…and hard work. Please make sure to get your last minute peony orders in before our 2018 peony season is over.

Time to pick up your peony orders on 9/14/18 & 9/15/18 from 9 am to 5 PM. For those of you who ordered your peonies and noted ‘pick up’ on the order form, we are so anxious to meet you and we have your peonies ready to go. Address again is 10958 70th ST SW, Howard Lake, MN. Come all the way up the driveway and the parking area is north of our home. An information area awaits you as well as staff to demonstrate how to plant a bare root peony.

Ok peony gardeners, for those of you who did not get your orders in before the cut-off date for picking up or would like to add more to your gardens, our annual Peony Barn Sale dates are September 14th and 15th, 2018, from 9 am to 5 PM. Pack your vehicle with friends and family and head out to Swenson Gardens at 10958 70th St SW. Leftover retail bare roots and reduced pricing on wholesale bare roots await you in our processing barn. Sorry but roots are available first come/first served. However, isn’t that the fun of a barn sale let alone a PEONY barn sale!
