This guide is written in partnership with Bachman’s
Bachman’s Floral, Home & Garden is celebrating 140 years as one of Minnesota’s most beloved family businesses. Founded in 1885 by Henry Bachman in South Minneapolis, the company remains rooted in its farming origins while evolving to meet modern demands. Now led by fifth-generation family members, including its first female CEO, Bachman’s continues to innovate while honoring its legacy, growing into one of the largest traditional floral and nursery operations in the world.
From its historic flagship store on the original farm site to its 36 retail locations and expansive greenhouse operations, Bachman’s blends tradition with forward-thinking initiatives. Signature events like the seasonal Ideas House and the long-running Santa and Albert Christmas show keep customers engaged, while participation in floral shows and community events strengthens its deep local ties. Through generations of leadership transitions, wartime resilience, and adapting to new technologies, Bachman’s has thrived by embracing change while staying true to its mission of bringing beauty to life.
Beyond flowers and home décor, Bachman’s remains committed to giving back. Through partnerships, in-kind donations, and the Round-Up for a Cause campaign, the company supports nonprofits focused on human services, health, children, the arts, and environmental programs. As Bachman’s celebrates this milestone year, its story of perseverance, innovation, and community impact is one worth sharing.
