Rooted in tradition. Growing into the future.

​

Beier’s Greenhouse has been a trusted name in Grand Rapids and the surrounding Northern Minnesota communities since 1957. Founded by Melvin and Lucille Beier, the greenhouse began as a family-run operation and quickly grew into a beloved local destination for homegrown plants and gardening inspiration. As the Beiers raised their family, they nurtured the greenhouse into a cornerstone of the community—known for quality, care, and a true passion for growing.

In 1977, their daughter Bonnie Beier took over ownership, continuing the family legacy for nearly five decades. Under her ownership, Beier’s expanded its selection and reach, becoming known for its wide variety of annuals, perennials, vegetables, hanging baskets, and nursery stock—all grown with Northern gardeners in mind. Today, many of our customers are second- and third-generation plant lovers who return year after year, sharing their gardening traditions with new generations.

In 2025, Beier’s Greenhouse entered a new chapter under the ownership of Alysia McDonald, who had managed the greenhouse for two years prior. With a background in the medical field, Alysia brings a unique, health-centered approach to horticulture—seeing parallels in the care and attention plants, people, and communities need to thrive.

“My goal is to carry forward the legacy of Beier’s by continuing to offer a wide variety of high-quality plants, while creating a healthy, welcoming environment for our customers, team, and community. When we nurture every part of the process, everything—and everyone—can thrive.”

Alysia and her husband Chris both grew up surrounded by agriculture and share a deep love of nature, plants, and animals. Together, they are proud to call Grand Rapids home.

With an eye toward health and sustainability, Alysia has introduced the use of beneficial insects at the greenhouse, reducing the need for chemical applications and enhancing plant and human health. She’s also excited to expand on Beier’s diverse plant selection—offering fresh finds each season alongside the tried-and-true favorites the community has come to love.
