Welcome to Firefly Farm & Mercantile's Blogging series. Our goal is to help you share garden insights, information on plants (especially heirlooms), garden hacks and more. My journey into garden started more than 30 years ago. After decades in corporate America, I made a pivot into the one hobby I have always loved - gardening! Our mission at Firefly Farm & Mercantile is pretty simply, have fun gardening! It doesn't matter if you love growing flowers or food, gardening is a lot of fun. At least the work is easier when you have a little fun.
Firefly Farm & Mercantile sits on our 22 acre farm located in the Driftless region of Wisconsin. Our springfed creeks and pond are filled with trout. The wildlife is abundant and our gardens are always growing. This year we have a few exciting projects underway. Our first project is starting our Firefly Farm & Mercantile Rose Garden. We will showcase dozens of our roses and rose companion plantings in this garden. Our second big project is a 3/4 acre buttefly walk garden. It will be adjacent to the Rose Garden and our Exhibition Garden where we show off 400 flowers and vegetables each year.
We hope to see you soon!
