More about us

Our names are Ben and Maddy (and Linden) and we are the family behind Bendy Stem Farm. Bendy Stem Farm is a small, Michigan native plant nursery located near Lansing. We want to welcome you to our venture and hope we can help you grow your love for natives in whatever way fits into your life.

We have long shared an interest in gardening and native plants. We have always incorporated natives into our home landscaping. In 2018 we bought the property that would become Bendy Stem Farm and immediately began incorporating native trees, shrubs, and herbaceous perennials into our landscape. Together we have built extensive native pollinator gardens, which we continue to expand each year. Ben dove into this venture full-time in 2022 and is excited to help increase access to native plants for homeowners.
