Mirza Jabbar Asgarzadeh was born in Yerevan. His grandfather was from Tabriz or Urmia. The first kindergarten he established was called the baghche-ye atfal (باغچهٔ اطفال) which means 'children's garden'. That is why he was given the nickname baghcheban (باغچهبان) which literally means 'gardener' in the Persian language.
He founded a school for the deaf in 1924, located next to his kindergarten. In 1928 he wrote the first Iranian children's book in Persian. The book was called baba barfi (بابا برفی) which means 'snow father' in Persian.
