Welcome Friend

I’m Melanie~ owner, plant wrangler & pollinator watcher here at Lazy Dirt Wildflower Farm.

This farm blog shares the work of transforming my 210 year old farm into a 4 acre habitat garden, native plant nursery & wildflower farm.

You’ll find tips to create your own habitat garden plus learn about conservation, local events, & farm happenings.

In between posts, find me over on Youtube laughing, hiking & growing native plants for pollinators
