Hi! I’m Malorie—owner, grower, and designer of Honeybaby.

I’ve been growing things all my life, tending to the gardens and farms of my grandparents when I was a little girl.

Before acquiring our farm in 2019 I moved to and from many small apartments in different cities, but no paucity of space has ever stopped me from growing flowers and vegetables—in 5-gallon buckets on my Chicago balcony, small backyard beds in Dearborn, or a community garden plot in downtown Ann Arbor.

I studied oil painting at EMU, and now draw on those years of work with form, color & texture when designing floral arrangements.

Before starting Honeybaby, I worked as a caterer and bartender for more than a decade; experience working hundreds of events made the transition to wedding florals an easy one.

When I’m not in the garden, I’m usually outside birding or hiking. I’m still passionate about growing my own food, which I spend a lot of time cooking & preserving.

I share the farm with my 12-year-old rescue pup Murphy & husband Drew (from whom comes the appellation “Honeybaby”), a finish carpenter & furnituremaker; without them, there would be no Honeybaby.
