Duane
& Bonnie Gartzke are the current owners of Gartzke's Greenhouse located in
Blue Earth, Minnesota. The original greenhouse, dating back to 1933, was built
by Nels Pederson, one of three brothers who came to America from Denmark. Duane
developed his "green thumbs" when his parents bought the original greenhouse
in 1957. Continuing the tradition, Duane and his wife Bonnie bought the greenhouse
in 1973 where it grew to its current size. Gartzke's
Greenhouse now includes seven greenhouses, offering over 50 varieties of perennials
and over 20 varieties of Clematis. Growing several special varieties on site,
Gartzke's Greenhouse offers the freshest flowers and plants in the area! |
