Baker Garden & Gift

History

Baker Nursery was founded in 1957 by Harry Baker. He began selling plants as a side business to his work as a caretaker at Riverside Cemetery. Harry saw the need for more space and headed south outside the city limit on Highway 81 (now University Drive) to establish the nursery at its present site in 1959. In 1967, Harry's son, Ken became involved in the family business and it blossomed into a successful nursery. Ken's son, Eric, joined the nursery in 1992 with a degree in horticulture, and is now the owner of the business. The family business grew from the first established greenhouse to four. Decades later sales were flourishing and a retail store front was added in 2004, giving the nursery a whole new look and name, Baker Garden and Gift. Today, Eric carries on the tradition of professional service started by his grandfather and continued by his father. Baker Garden and Gift offers Fargo-Moorhead the best selection of plants and service.
