About the Southern Backyard Flower Farmers

Hello and welcome to our gardening journey! We’re Sarah Tapia & Betsey Marchesani, a mother-daughter duo embarking on an exciting adventure into the world of gardening. 

Why We Started

Our gardening story began with a simple idea: the desire to connect with nature, grow our own food, and create a vibrant, thriving oasis right in our backyard.  We took the plunge and decided to turn our gardening dreams into reality.

The First-Year Gardening Chronicles

Join us as we dive headfirst into the dirt and document our ups, downs, and everything in between during our first year of gardening. We’ll share our successes and our not-so-successful moments, because let’s face it, gardening isn’t always a bed of roses (although we hope to have those too!).

What You Can Expect

Through this blog, we aim to share our gardening knowledge, experiences, and insights as we learn and grow along the way. Whether you’re a fellow beginner seeking guidance or an experienced gardener looking to reminisce about your early days, we invite you to be a part of our gardening community.

Our Goals

Our journey is more than just planting seeds; it’s about cultivating a deeper connection with the natural world, fostering a sustainable lifestyle, and sharing our passion with you. We hope to inspire and educate, providing tips, tricks, and lessons learned that will help you on your own gardening journey.

Get Involved

We want to hear from you! Share your own gardening stories, ask questions, or offer advice in the comments section. Let’s cultivate a supportive community where we can all grow and thrive together.

Thank you for joining us on this exciting journey into the world of gardening. We can’t wait to see what the seasons have in store for us, and we’re thrilled to have you along for the ride.

Happy gardening!

Sarah & Betsy
