Bachman's birthday month began by launching the Buzz & Bloom garden at the Minnesota Zoo on June 7. The partnership features the zoo's first-ever pollinator garden, which Bachman's curated and will serve as a living classroom to teach people about supporting the local ecosystem.

June 13 kicked off the birthday weekend with an event that included a band and a live TV broadcast of a popular local lifestyle show from the flagship Bachman's store, complete with a live audience of more than 150 people. This show highlighted the company's history and offerings, and also had tips and trends segments, hands-on demos and more. To add to the excitement in-store, Bachman's invited Master Gardeners to interact with audience members, and featured partners such as the Minnesota Zoo.
