In 2002, Scott & Dean were on the hunt for a perfect urban location for a new garden business. It was ultimately discovered at 54th and Nicollet in Minneapolis’ Tangletown neighborhood. The property was renovated, inventory purchased, and the first crop at our farm in Plato, Minnesota was produced – leading to a Grand Opening in Spring 2003. The Twin Cities welcomed Tangletown Gardens with open arms and it became an instant destination for both gardeners and non-gardeners alike, a place for inspiration every day of the year.

Many people are curious about the history of the building that now houses Tangletown Gardens. The 1939 building was originally built by Mr. Fisher and was home to his neighborhood Pure Oil Station for several decades. Upon his retirement, the building transitioned into a transmission shop for nearly 40 years before shifting gears to the current home of Tangletown Gardens.
