For over 70 years, Mary’s Plant Farm was a working nursery. We grew perennials, shade plants, and rare varieties in our fields. We sold plants. We designed gardens. We welcomed visitors.
Today, Mary’s Plant Farm is purely a blog. We don’t sell plants anymore. We don’t run a nursery. We don’t do landscaping. The farm is closed to visitors.
Growing plants is easy. Growing confidence as a gardener is harder.
Mary’s Plant Farm exists to help you do both.
What we do now
We teach you everything about plants. How to grow them. How to care for them. How to make them thrive.
This blog covers
- Plant care from seed to bloom
- Step-by-step growing guides
- Products that actually work
- Tools and supplies you need
- Soil, fertilizer, and feeding tips
- Problem solving and plant health
- What to buy and when to use it
Why the change?
After 70 years of growing, we have knowledge to share. A blog lets us teach what works. We help you succeed with your plants.
Why Mary’s Plant Farm Exists
Gardening information online is everywhere but much of it is overwhelming, contradictory, or written by people who forget what it’s like to be a beginner.
Mary’s Plant Farm takes a different approach.
We focus on:
- Practical guidance instead of theory-heavy explanations
- Clear steps instead of vague tips
- Real-world solutions for everyday plant problems
Our goal is to help you understand why something works, not just what to do so you can make better decisions for your own plants and environment.
What You’ll Find Here
Clear teaching. Simple steps. Real product recommendations. Honest advice from decades of hands-on experience.
This is your learning space. We’re here to teach you how to grow anything better.
