Books and Gifts

Princeton and Scandia retail stores offer a wide variety of book titles and gifts that you may not be able to find easily anywhere else. We feature materials that will quickly give you an overview of native landscapes of Minnesota and surrounding states.

Wonder why you should choose woodland, wetland, prairie or shoreline native landscaping? Many outstanding reference books are available at both the Princeton and Scandia stores to provide detailed answers about the amazing flora and fauna of the upper Midwest. And we have favorite thoughtful writers like Barry Lopez, Paul Gruchow and Aldo Leopold, who will educate your mind and stir your soul.

Looking for a special gift for a special young person? We have books, puzzles, games and toys that will both entertain and educate about the importance of caring for the natural world that these special little people are going to inherit from us. And we are pleased to be able to feature unique items for you to cherish, personally, or purchase for someone else. Bread mixes, locally produced honey and jams, paintings and pottery by local artists, birdhouses and feeders…we have it all!

Come see for yourself. You’ll be surprised and delighted by the selections at both Princeton and Scandia!
