Wallner Gardens
Let's head to Yankton Trail Park and explore the historical marker for Wallner Gardens!
Wallner Gardens, a family farming venture established in the 1910's by F. X. Wallner, a plant science expert and one time president of the South Dakota Horticultural Society. The business grew from a roadside vegetable stand to a successful retail and wholesale enterprise on the fertile land in Sioux Falls. The operation expanded to hundreds of acres before closing in 1979.
