Welcome to our native flower farm
Growing native plants & flowers for wildlife, your garden & vase is our jam!
We are ‘scratch-made’ starting with what we have;
a 220 year old old barn
potting bench
Great friends & moxie
We are small but mighty!
at Lazy Dirt Wildflower Farm we strive to follow ‘Earth-first’ practices.
Plants are field-grown without any plastics or peat
Practices that support soil life upon which all living things depend.
Here you’ll find that the needs of pollinators and wildlife come first!
Coming in Spring ‘26
Imagine the joy of quietly strolling amongst wildflowers on a warm sunny morning or evening. The birds are singing in their nests. Bees are buzzing as they gather pollen from clouds of native flowers of Monarda and Rudbeckia.
and butterflies seem to be EVERYWHERE you look!
This is just some of the magic you’ll find in our Meadow Walk and U-Pick Flower Field!
You are welcome to visit the Meadow Walk to
pick your own wildflower bouquet
discover new native plants
take wildlife and family photos
Your reservation let’s us know when you’ll be visiting.
Your generous donation helps us grow the Meadow Walk for you such as inviting guest speakers plus adding wooden benches and of course more native plants!

What? No plastics pots??
That’s right. We use no plastics to grow plants or create beautiful flower arrangements for you!
Instead you’ll find young plants growing happily in Wool Pots on our nursery tables. Older plants are dug from our fields & gift wrapped in burlap or Kraft paper to go home with you.
Easy to plant & no pile of plastic pots in your garden shed!

A Unique Workshop Series
Join Laura Shaddak of Downstream Design for this ‘hands in the soil’ gardening series here at the farm!
You’ll learn how to design & maintain a garden with native plants across all for seasons!
Taking a Stand Against Plastics
Our goal is simple~ to be a 100% plastic-free nursery & flower farm by December 2026!
Over 3 billion plastic nursery containers are produced for the horticultural industry ever year. The majority are from virgin plastics, not recyclable and will never decompose.
Instead they end up in landfills, roadsides, waterways, the oceans and even piled high in your shed.
We believe we can all do better…for our farm, your gardens, wildlife & the Earth
At our farm & nursery you’ll find…
Plants ‘gift wrapped’ in burlap & paper tied with cotton ribbons.
Sowing & growing plants without plastics or peat
You’ll see wood trays & healthy field grown perennials
and for your seed sowing natural WOOL POTS!
