Hi, I’m Makayla!

I own and operate a micro flower farm located in northern Indiana, approximately an hour and a half north of downtown Indianapolis. est. 2024.

Much of my childhood was spent outside. I always loved helping my parents in the garden, watch my mom grow and design her flower beds, go on walks, and enjoy what every season had to offer. We would spend our weekends camping, and summer vacations up in Canada surrounded by nature.

Growing up we’re taught that we need to get a good education, find a good job, and make money. All of which I set out to do and did. While proud of what I had accomplished, I felt I could do more.

In 2022 my husband and I bought a small pole barn house tucked on 20 acres of land. The possibilities were endless! He too, shares the same love for the outdoors and is self-employed owning his own contracting business. Much of 2023 I spent exploring the idea of starting a flower farm and ended up taking a course on the ins and outs of doing so. In 2024 I invested much of my time and money into what is now The Backyard Flower Farm. Being a business owner himself, my husband is my number one supporter (not to mention he’s pretty darn handy)!

I hope to continue this journey to learn and GROW, but most of all, to spread the love and joy of flowers year after year to you all!
