When you work here, you’re joining a team that’s proud to represent a long-standing local brand and a name that Minnesotans have trusted for generations. It’s the kind of workplace where teams look out for one another, share what they know, and enjoy the work they do.
The heart of Plants & Things has always been the people behind it. Since opening in 1979, we’ve grown from a small garden market into Minnesota’s go-to outdoor living destination, and we’ve done it by valuing our team the same way we value our customers: with honesty, respect, and communication.
Many of our employees have built long careers with us, staying for years or even decades. Here, you get to work with products you can stand behind, help customers create outdoor spaces they’re excited about, and be part of a Minnesota tradition that’s been thriving for more than 40 years.

We’re always excited to meet people who share our appreciation for quality products, friendly service, and teamwork.
You don’t need years of experience to thrive here; what matters most is your mindset. If you’re dependable, kind, and curious, we can teach you everything else.
Here’s what we value in new team members:
We provide hands-on training to help new team members feel confident and prepared. If you enjoy working with your hands, talking with customers, or learning about outdoor products, you’ll fit right in.
Plants & Things isn’t a big-box chain, and that’s exactly what makes it special. We’ve maintained a collaborative, friendly atmosphere where everyone contributes and feels part of something meaningful.
