The Farm

The inspiration for Saylor Creek Flower Farm came from a simple desire to cut down the amount of time spent mowing our backyard. Our home in Saylor Township is situated on a wonderful flat quarter acre of south facing lawn which truly was a blank canvas when we bought it! We talked about putting in a pool or even a volleyball court, but in the end, decided to start with a garden. I enrolled in the Master Gardener program with the initial goal of growing lots of vegetables. But not long after that first season of tomatoes and cucumbers, I learned of the work Floret was doing with specialty cut flowers and quickly pivoted. I was captivated by their beauty, curious about their potential in Iowa, and envisioned our backyard filled with rows of blooms!
