Getting it There

     All of the plants grown at Glacial Ridge Growers have an ultimate destination.  They all need to reach an inviting garden or other plot of soil that is ready to have them settle in.  If not for us, the dependable trucks, the plants would have no place to live their beautiful lives.  We trucks are set up with a large enclosed cargo space to hold the plants safely in transit.  The racks that are loaded with plants roll onto our backs for the trip to various destinations.
​
     We travel to locations all over Minnesota and surrounding states.  Garden centers, landscapers, and various fun-raising groups receive our plants.  During our busiest season we bring in extra recruits from a truck-leasing company.  We even enlist semi-trailers from a local trucking company.  It’s a big job, getting all those plants delivered.  Of course, everyone seems to want the plants around the same time, so our spring is very hectic.  Our winter break is well-deserved, with nowhere to go but settle into a big snowdrift and wait for spring.
