The original Cashman Nursery was founded in 1898 by Thomas Eugene Cashman, Jerry’s grandfather, in Owatonna, Minnesota as a large, wholesale, mail-order, and retail operation. Jerry’s father, Thomas Eugene Cashman II, worked in the family nursery, selling nursery stock in Minnesota, North Dakota, and Montana. Jerry’s brother Dan owns and operates a garden center in Bismarck, ND.
The rest is history — 124 years of history. Cashman Nursery continues to grow and thrive in Bozeman with Jerry’s sons, Joe and Mike Cashman working full time with him in the business.
