EVANOFF GARDENS

The Evanoff Gardens, owned by Dimiter and Wanda Evanoff, were located at 5445 Wayzata Blvd., "across from McCarthy's Cafe." It was there as early as 1934 and probably earlier.  A 1940 ad says it's "The eighty foot white and red stand, conveniently located on the south side of Wayzata Blvd., on the west end of the Cloverleaf a half mile from the Minneapolis city limits. Lots of room to park." They advertised cut flowers, spring plants, perennials, honey, fruits, and vegetables. Part of the Gamble complex was on Evanoff land.
