Anyone who has had the opportunity to hear Mike Lizotte talk about wildflowers will know that his passion for these plants has deep roots! Mike has been working with American Meadows since he was just 14 years old. As a teenager, Mike helped with maintenance, seed packing, and helping around the shop on the weekends. He quickly learned to identify hundreds of seeds, and over time, learned to love the flowers they produced. As he continued working with wildflower gardeners in the shop, and continued to gain more and more knowledge about growing wildflowers, Mike earned the nickname “The Seed Man.”

 

In 2009, Mike and his business partner took over the American Meadows seed business. Today, Mike’s enthusiasm runs strong! He continues to share his wealth of knowledge, helping and encouraging gardeners to grow wildflowers wherever they can. Plus he literally wrote the book on growing wildflowers, “Mini Meadows: Grow A Little Patch Of Colorful Flowers Anywhere Around Your Yard.”
