About Cashman Nursery and Jerry Cashman Jerry and Jan Cashman came to Bozeman in 1975, purchased the property where Cashman Nursery is now, and built the present nursery building in 1976. But this was not the first time Cashman Nursery had a presence in Bozeman. In 1926 and 1927, Jerry’s father came here selling windbreaks, fruit, and shade trees as a representative of Cashman Nursery in Owatonna, Minnesota. Then, in the 1960s, Jerry’s older brother Dan reintroduced Cashman Nursery, taking orders for trees and shrubs door to door and shipping them from his nursery in Bismarck, North Dakota. Jeremiah (Jerry) Cashman calls Fergus Falls, Minnesota home although his family lived in Fort Lauderdale, Florida for a time when he was a child. He was the youngest of 7 children. He was graduated from the University of Minnesota with a degree in Horticulture. His family has a long history in the nursery business from his father and grandfather both.
