We owe our longevity to the wonderful and talented horticulturists who have managed our business throughout most of the 20th century, as well as our loyal and new customers who keep us going strong into the 21st! Discover our unique story here. In 1928, Forrest H. Sargent purchased the bankrupt Burnside Nursery and renamed it Red Wing Nursery, Forrest H. Sargent & Sons.
During the '30s the nature of the business was to sell bare-root shrubs and trees in the spring. They grew and sold fruits and vegetables in the summer and fall. In 1940 the name was shortened to Red Wing Nursery. Forrest H. Sargent died in 1942 and until 1948 the nursery was owned and operated by Ed Sunquist of Lake City, Minnesota.
