Business Overview
Sargent's Landscape & Nursery is a family-owned Rochester institution, established in 1971 by Forrest Sargent. Now in its fourth generation, the business is run by the Sargent family, including Nick Sargent, who brings formal horticulture and entrepreneurship education from the University of Minnesota. Operating from two primary locations—the original 'Sargent's North' on 18th Avenue NW and a garden center on 2nd Street SW—the company combines a 40-acre growing nursery with full-service retail centers. This unique model allows them to offer everything from landscape design and construction to a vast selection of annuals, perennials, and trees grown on-site. Their acquisition of Colours Flower Market also provides a dedicated floral department. For over 50 years, Sargent's has helped Rochester residents create and maintain beautiful outdoor spaces, supported by a knowledgeable team passionate about local gardening.

Questions and Answers
What makes Sargent's plant selection different from other garden centers in Rochester?
Our 40-acre nursery in Rochester is where we grow many of our own trees, shrubs, and perennials. This local cultivation means our plants are already acclimated to Southeast Minnesota's climate, giving them a stronger start in your garden. Combined with our retail selection of annuals, bulbs, and specialty items, we offer a uniquely broad and hardy inventory for local gardeners.
I have patchy or dead areas in my Rochester lawn. Can Sargent's help?
Absolutely. Our comprehensive landscape services are designed to diagnose and resolve common local lawn issues. Our team can assess whether the problem is related to soil health, irrigation, disease, or insect pressure—services we manage for shrubs and trees as well. We then provide a plan that may include soil amendment, proper reseeding, irrigation adjustments, and ongoing maintenance to restore a healthy, vibrant lawn suited to our local conditions.
Do you offer complete landscape design and installation, or can I just buy plants?
We provide both! You're welcome to visit either of our Rochester garden centers to shop for plants, pottery, and gardening supplies. For a full transformation, our design team creates customized plans for outdoor living spaces. Our construction crew then handles the installation, from greenscape and hardscape building to planting and irrigation system setup. We manage the entire process, from initial concept to ongoing maintenance.
