About Flower Shops

After he arrived from Germany in the late 1800s, Henry Bachman worked for the first Fred Busch, who was his mother's brother, and for a Minneapolis produce commission house. Bachman and his wife Hattie went into the truck crop business in South Minneapolis in 1885. In 1889, he built 10 greenhouses, but no flowers were grown until 1914. Henry had five sons, Fred, Walter, Arthur, Henry, Jr. and Albert.
