Well, hey there! ☕🌿
I suppose it’s about time I properly introduced myself around here.
I’m Josie — the maker, gardener, homemaker, and occasional chaos coordinator behind The Dirt Road Gardener. 😂
We’re a family-run workshop tucked away in Michigan, where ordinary sheets of steel become little pieces of art for homes, porches, and gardens.
Around here, there’s usually a plasma table running, sparks flying, somebody grinding steel, and me dreaming up the next thing we probably don’t have room on the workbench for. 😂
But The Dirt Road Gardener is about more than the things we make.
It’s about the garden that inspires them. The home where those ideas begin. The family working behind the scenes. And all the little moments in between.
So if you’re new here, welcome to our little corner of the dirt road. 🤎
Expect a little gardening, some decorating, plenty of workshop shenanigans, lots of coffee, and probably a few rusty hands.
I’m awfully glad you’re here.
Now tell me — are you here for the garden inspiration, the handmade metalwork, or just to see what kind of trouble we get into next? 😂
— Josie 🌿
