Plants

Tonkadale is well known as a premier destination for plant parents and we strive to carry a large variety of common and easy-care plants as well as working hard to source those difficult-to-find, rare plants.

Local Artists and Makers Creations

Supporting local artists and makers is always a good endeavor. Tonkadale carries several lines of locally handcrafted wares from right here in the Twin Cities. Check them out here!

Brett Monahan

Made one piece at a time in NE Minneapolis, pottery by Brett Monahan is beautiful, functional, and as local as it gets. Simple, yet stunning, geometric designs stand out while not overpowering the beautiful plants. The pieces come together seamlessly to streamline any plant collection.

Buttermilk Ceramics

Handmade to order, Buttermilk Ceramics is located in the Twin Cities and can be purchased only through custom and wholesale orders. We’ve procured a nice selection of these wheel thrown pieces just for our passionate plant parents!

Sandwich Ceramic

Based in Minneapolis, Sandwich Ceramic focuses on minimalist pottery designed for daily use. Pieces are created from the desire to “promote meaningful interaction between people and the objects we use each day.” The patterns are fun and funky and the colors are subtle, allowing the pieces to bring interest to any décor while fitting in seamlessly.

Funky Fibers

When you run out of space on the floor and on surfaces, it’s time to look upward for plant placement! Hang your plants in macrame plant hangers to create interest and dimension in your plant styling techniques.

Watering Cans

A good watering can is a must, not just in function but in form. The right watering can will spark joy each time its used, both for it’s ability to make the job of watering a breeze and for the beauty it provides. The Henri and Preston watering cans are two favs for these very reasons.

Propagation Items

Plant parents love to propagate their plants, whether to create more for their own spaces or to give away or trade. Cuttings is an easy and approachable way to propagate many different types of plants. This can be done in any vessel, but might as well make it a pretty one that makes a design statement and becomes a part of the décor itself. The Estilo Hanger is perfect for going vertical with propagation cuttings while the Bunsen Budvase and Beeline Stand are great for tabletop. 

Totes

This tote makes the perfect statement, literally. All that we do is “for the love of plants.” A perfect way for plant parents to show their passion, store their plant wares, carry their cuttings, or all the other things great totes are good for!

Moss Poles

If you know your plant parent needs something to help their vining plant grow up and up, this moss pole is perfect! With its weighted, stable base, included plant pins to help keep tendrils in place, and premium sphagnum moss mix outer layer, any clinging and climbing plant will be quite happy growing toward its greatest potential.

Still stumped? Let them choose!

There are so many amazing plants and plant items that it can be hard to know just which one is the best. Gift cards are especially great for the plant parent that has it all.

Happy gifting!
