The Hoffman & McNamara Story.

With the vision of Planting The Future, Hoffman & McNamara is a vertically integrated public space landscaping and wholesale nursery team. Since the company was founded in 1977, the focus has been on developing meticulous landscaping processes for municipalities and local governments, and on being a proven logistics partner for high-volume landscapers and re-wholesalers. The Hoffman & McNamara headquarters is located on nearly 200 acres of irrigated nursery land in Hastings, Minnesota.
