Description

Crop Cover (also referred to as floating row cover, frost blanket or over-wintering) acts as a protective greenhouse by trapping heat and guarding against light frosts. Made from spun bond polypropylene, it allows water, air, sunlight and soluble fertilizers to pass through. Because of its permeability, it vents air and excess moisture leading to increased plant growth. It also protects against insects and drying winds.

Minnesota's Destination Garden Center

Gertens is one of North America’s largest garden centers and home to Minnesota’s largest selection of annuals, perennials, natives, houseplants, trees, shrubs, and evergreens.  We’ve been “Growing in the Grove” in Inver Grove Heights since 1921 and our campus now covers over 100 acres of shopping and growing facilities. Gertens is still a family-owned business with a focus on giving customers the ability to buy high-quality plants and trees directly from a local grower.  After all, IT'S ONLY NATURAL TO BUY FROM THE GROWER.
