Tonkadale: Your Holiday Headquarters

It's time to start thinking holiday! Here at Tonkadale, we want to be YOUR holiday headquarters! From wreaths to swags, trees to garlands.. we've got it all! Take advantage of our custom design and delivery services to simplify this season as you deck the halls and the walls!


Customs & Delivery

Each winter season at Tonkadale, we present hundreds of evergreen containers created by our talented design team. We have 10", 12", and 14" drop-in pots that are ready to grab and go, as well as an assortment of window box sizes. If you'd like us to create an arrangement in your own pot or don't see the design that's perfect for you, we can make it custom!

On top of spruce top pots & window boxes, we also offer custom centerpieces, swags with fresh greens, permanent holiday decorations, permanent and fresh greens wreaths, and bows!

Custom Designs: How-To

  1. Connect with Us: An in-store meet and greet is easiest! Our design staff is always available to take your order. If you have questions beforehand, feel free to reach out to us at (952) 938-6480 and your call will be directed to the design team.
  2. Place your Order: This process includes a quick consult regarding the scope of your design, its colors, size, other preferences, and price point.
  3. Bring your Pots: If you plan to bring in your own pots, please bring them empty and free of debris. We do charge a dump fee if they show up full of soil. Need a drop-in pot? A drop-in container slips into your decorative container and is an easy way to change your pots out seasonally. Time for a whole new look? We have a beautiful selection of decorative containers for you to choose from in the greenhouse.
  4. Pick a Date: November is a very busy time in the greenhouse. Place your order in advance to avoid an extended wait time.
  5. Sit back and Relax: When your pots are complete, we'll give you a call to pick up or coordinate delivery.

Christmas Tree Delivery & Set-up

Christmas trees arrive the week of Thanksgiving at Tonkadale! Our Christmas trees are grown locally for you in Minnesota and Wisconsin. We carry two varieties: Balsam Fir and Frasier Fir. Our most popular tree is the 7-8’ Frasier Fir. Unique to Tonkadale is our selection of large trees – up to 12’ tall.

Balsam trees are more fragrant than Frasiers, but the branches are a bit more flexible. If you have heavy ornaments, a Frasier Fir is a better bet. Both varieties hold their needles well over time- especially with a fresh cut and attention to watering.

Our team is already taking christmas tree pre-orders for delivery and set-ups! Whether you prefer to shop in-person or would like to pre-order your tree, we're happy to accomodate!
