How can I help you today?
Gardening
Whether you want to grow a huge backyard garden or just a few herbs indoors, let me show you how easy it is to grow some of your own food and easy ways to preserve it for later.
Chickens
If you want to get started raising backyard chickens, I’ll show you what you need to buy (and what you don’t) and how to care for the baby chicks from the minute you bring them home.
DIY
If you want to learn to make a few of your own beauty items from scratch, I’ve got tutorials on homemade soap, lip balm, and many other items that also make great gift ideas.

WELCOME TO
Dogwoods & Dandelions
I’m Julie B. and I want to show you how you can have a backyard homestead (or mini-farm) no matter where you live. In this day of empty food shelves and rising grocery prices, wouldn’t it be nice if you could grow or raise some of your own food? Well, I’m here to help. I was born and raised on a farm and still live there today. But you don’t need acres and acres of land to grow a small garden or raise a few backyard chickens. Even if you live in the city, you can grow a few herbs indoors. Let’s cultivate a good life…no matter where we live.
