Welcome to our native flower farm
where we grow native plants for pollinators, your garden & vase
you can help save pollinators & birds right in your own backyard
Where to start?
don’t use pesticides or herbicides; if you can’t eat or live in it neither can wildlife!
leave the leaves where they fall & create brush piles in the garden to home pollinators & feed the birds
fill your garden with native plants from your eco-region
New for Spring ‘24
Create a GIANT hummingbird feeder with Nature’s own ingredients… NATIVE PLANTS!
3 seasons of blooms feed & support hummingbird’s from the breeding season to powering up for their 3,000 mile migration in September!
We are a native flower farm in beautiful Mexico,NY
Lazy Dirt Wildflower Farm is a small wildflower farm & NYS licensed nursery (#646726)
We are ‘scratch-made’ in that we are starting with what we have … an old farm, potting bench, elbow grease, and moxie
We are small but mighty!
Growing organically & sustainably
without herbicides, pesticides or chemical fertilizers
responsibly collecting seeds from native plants within 200 miles of our farm
Sourcing seeds & roots of cultivated plants like herbs, zinnias and iris from our farm’s harvests or small independent farms that grow non-gmo & organic seeds
Taking a Stand Against Plastics
Our goal is simple~ to be a plastic-free nursery & flower farm by December 2025!
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 sitting piled high in your shed.
We believe we can all do better…
for our farm, gardens & our Planet Earth
Starting in Spring 2024, we’re phasing out all plastics on our farm .
BIG changes begin opening weekend when your plants go home WITHOUT PLASTIC POTS, TAGS OR CARRIERS!

why choose native plants?

Native plants evolved with wildlife to support their life cycles like hibernation or migration. For instance, native Scarlet Bee Balm blooms just as hummingbirds arrive from the South into our area.

Many native plants like Anise Hyssop bloom Summer into late Fall. They provide native bees & other pollinators food for next seasons broods as well as shelter for Winter hibernation

Native plants evolved to be able to thrive in local conditions & support specialist pollinators. Native plants like this Lanceleaf coreopsis bloom in very early Spring & are a vital food source for native bees after Winter hibernation

Studies like those from the Xerces Society have shown that native plants have higher nutrition than cultivated plants including seeds with specific fats that help birds survive Winter

From pollen to seed heads, native flowers support diverse wildlife in your garden. Planting in drifts of 3 to 5 of the same species creates easy to find food sources for wildlife.

Native plants like this Spotted Bee Balm evolved to feed & shelter wildlife~ even the shape of their blooms! See those pretty yellow 'tendrils' ~ those match the placement of native bumblebees who will pollinate this beautiful plant!

Growing for pollinators
We believe protecting habitats starts with healthy soil & plants that are grown organically with tender loving care.
You’ll find no pesticides & herbicides used here & our farmland hasn’t seen them in over 50 years!
After all if you can’t eat it neither can pollinators and other wild things!
But it’s not just WHAT you plant in your garden but also HOW you garden that matters to pollinators & wildlife
