Welcome to Miss Madaline! Located in SouthEast Michigan I am a mother to 3 small boys who love playing in the garden. They have been by my side through it all. This spring I will offer a wide variety of Dahlia tubers and seeds for you to tuck into your own garden. Seed packets are also available in a variety of flowers that have all been grown here in my garden, pollinated by the many bees and butterflies that bless my garden each day. Giving back to not only the community but also pollinators is essential to me. I hope my garden inspires you to grow your own.

Collecting seeds from my garden has been a source of therapy for me. It allows me to follow though full circle with every single seedling that I started the season prior. It is so rewarding watching your seed grow into a beautiful bloom that bees and butterflies search for. I personally get attached to the colors or particular variety of flower I have- so collecting the seed allows me to ensure I’ll be growing the same adored flower as the year before. You do not need a large space to create the cutting garden of your dreams or just for visual purpose. I maximize every inch of space and that allows me to layer and grow so many varieties.

I pride my garden on being a pollinator friendly garden. The most unique tiny green bees climb all over my sunflowers. Big bumble bees hang from the honeywort blooms and tiny sweat bees hop from Poppy to Poppy. I have swallowtail and Monarch butterflies daily and the occasional hummingbird. I do not spray insecticides and will wait to deadhead a bloom if a bee is sleeping inside for the night. Purposeful planting can benefit your garden in so many ways. It keeps your garden and surrounding areas pollinated and flourishing along with upping the bee population that so desperately needs help. Having flowers in bloom spring, summer and fall not only is beautiful to look at but keeps the pollinators fed until winters nap.
