a quick trip to the local garden center for “something to add a little life” to our living room has exploded into a collection of over 200 plants (yes, I counted).

Hi, I’m Eric. That’s my wife, Maegan. Our two kids wouldn’t sit still long enough for a picture.

DirtyBird Soil was founded on a simple idea: make ridiculously good soil that doesn’t break the bank.

In 2021, we packed up our family, left New York behind, and headed south to sunny Florida. What we didn’t expect was how much we’d fall in love with year-round plant parenting. Suddenly, our houseplants were getting fresh air, more sunshine, and living their best lives — and we wanted the soil to match.

We’re not some giant soil conglomerate with mystery ingredients and corporate boardrooms. We’re just two people, a couple of very judgmental cactus, and a deep love for dirt. Every bag of DirtyBird Soil is mixed with care, tested in our own wild little desert, and delivered with the kind of attention you only get from people who still name their plants.

Whether you’re growing a single cactus, a group of succulents, or an entire desert collection, our mission is the same: deliver high-quality, affordable soil that sets roots up for success.

People often ask us why. That one’s easy.

It’s not for the fame.
It’s not for the fortune.

It’s because, deep down…
we’re all DirtyBirds.
