What is Sidelot Gardens?

sĪd-lät: a part of land beside a property. Often vacant or overgrown.

Sidelot Gardens was born out of a dream to bring more flowers to people in the Cincinnati area, and to reclaim a little bit of land from weeds. With the generous support from the Cincinnati Health Collective, Laura has reclaimed a quarter acre of land to grow flowers and community.

Most days you’ll find Laura and Hazel at the farm!

What are you growing?

We grow seasonal cut flowers!

That means you won’t find tropical flowers in your bouquets, and dahlias won’t be available until late summer and into fall.

Instead, you will find new favorites that you may never have seen in your grocery store bouquet!
