Grandma taught me how to grow flowers when I was just a young boy growing up down on the Gulf Coast in Pensacola, FL. So it was a no brainer when fellow farmers at our annual NC-ANA farm conference in February, 2019 suggested we add flowers to our you pick farm!
Fast forward and we are now getting ready for our 6th season and oh how we've grown! We look forward to welcoming you and yours to the farm to experience the little bit of magic we're creating right here on the outskirts of Charlotte, NC.

Betty's Dahlia Patch
We love growing dahlias here at McLawland Farms. 2024 marks our fourth season growing them and we couldn't be happier. We have 22 crates currently stored in our root cellar that we dug up last November and December. We'll take those out come late March and begin the process of splitting them. One clump of tubers can easily yield 8+ splits into new plants. We like to get tubers in the ground around April 1st. We use pine straw to protect any early shoots from possible frost.
You may be wondering how our speciality patch got the name "Betty's Dahlia Patch". I really need to get a sign made! Well, our friend David's mom, Betty, convinced us that dahlias needed to be part of our flower farm. We had heard this before, and her adamant advice finally pushed us to give them a try. So glad we did! They are some of farmer Jason's favorite flowers that we grow. I think they're pretty special too! So Betty of Waynesville, NC, we thank you kindly for your tender nudge. You are welcome to visit anytime!
