Three Ways to Shop!
The health and safety of our customers and staff have been Gerten’s top priority throughout the pandemic, and we continue to monitor the latest guidance and recommendations from the CDC and the Governor’s office. While customers are still invited to shop our stores, we have worked hard to create two additional options for our you to safely shop, including our new curbside pickup option. Please review the three shopping options below and we look forward to seeing you soon!
1. Shop In-Store
Our spacious, open-air garden center has plenty of room to shop both inside and outside during our normal operating hours.
Insider Tip: During our busy season in April and May, the last two hours of the day are the quietest time to shop and gives you the most space for yourself and your plants!
2. Buy Online and Ship Directly to Your Home
No need to leave your house! Browse our website and choose to have your order delivered right to your home. Note that delivery methods, costs, and timing vary by product type. You will either be asked to choose your shipping method during the product customization or on the checkout page.
3. Buy Online and Use Our Curbside Pickup
No need to get out of your car! Many of our products are available for Curbside Pickup including plants, fertilizer, mulch, bird seed, gifts, and more. Follow the three steps below to complete a Curbside Pickup order:
1. Simply use the navigation bar above to find the items you would like to buy and add each product to your cart. When checking out, choose curbside delivery as your delivery option. Note that some products require you to choose curbside pickup during the product customization step.
2. You will receive a confirmation email stating that Gertens received your order. Our team will then begin wrapping and bagging your order so that it is ready to load into your car.
We will email you a second time when your order is ready to be picked up. Most orders placed before 11am will be ready the same day. Insider tip: Plan ahead and order a day early to ensure we have your order ready in time for your project's needs.
3. After you receive an email stating your order is ready to be picked up, drive to our Inver Grove Heights location and follow the signs marked for Gertens To-Go Curbside Pick-up. Once you've arrived, one of our carryout team members will ask for your last name and will retreive and load your order into your car for you. Please also note that curbside pickup orders need to be picked up within 72 hours of receiving your confirmation email.
Please also note that our Curbside Pickup center closes at 7pm Monday through Saturday and at 6pm on Sundays.
