While there are any number of greenhouses and garden centers in the Twin Cities, Bachman’s Garden Center is the hometown favorite. Whatever your family’s gardening interest, Bachman’s will have it in their catalog and offer advice for growing it — Fairy Gardens, Bonsai, flowers, vegetables, you can find it in their catalog. The Lyndale location is Bachman’s flagship location and is a treat to visit. There is so much to explore, plus special events and classes held at this location.
