DETROIT LAKES, Minn. – If there’s a poinsettia decorating your home this time of year, chances are it came from Bergen’s Greenhouses.
The fourth-generation family business, based in Detroit Lakes, is the largest poinsettia wholesaler in the area, said Chris Bergen, president and owner.
“Poinsettias have a rich history with the holiday season,” he said.
Bergen’s grew 455,000 poinsettias in its 12 acres of greenhouses this year in a process that starts in June. The business gets unrooted cuttings, mostly from Central America, that they build into liners and then assemble into larger pots.
