Our story

Cedar Brook Garden Center is a thoughtfully curated garden and lifestyle destination located in New Prague, Minnesota. Rooted in quality and design, we specialize in refined landscape planning, floral artistry, custom potscaping, and premium plant material for both indoor and outdoor spaces.

Founded in 2012 by owners Mary Beth Gullickson and Jean Sticha, Cedar Brook began as a small Garden Mart and grew into a permanent five-acre garden center that continues to evolve each season. Today, we grow and source annuals, perennials, trees, shrubs, houseplants, organic herbs and vegetables, along with a distinctive collection of home and garden goods.

With backgrounds in horticulture, floral design, and landscape construction, our leadership and team bring decades of experience and a passion for thoughtful design. Cedar Brook also serves as an educational resource, offering classes, workshops, and seasonal events that invite learning, creativity, and connection.

Every detail at Cedar Brook is guided by intention — from the plants we grow to the spaces we design — creating an experience that inspires confidence, curiosity, and a love for growing.

Reviews

“I love the experience I have every time I visit Cedar Brook Garden Center. The staff is knowledgeable. The events are lovely. My two year old loved the farm animals from the Easter event.”

- DonnaJo Johnson, Cedar Brook Customer

“We recently visited this nursery looking for a low-maintenance indoor plant and found the perfect palm! The staff was super helpful and guided us to just what we needed—something easy to care for and great for our space. The plant is healthy, beautiful, and thriving in our home. Highly recommend if you’re looking for quality plants and friendly service!”
