Flowers connect us. They invite us to slow down from our busy lives and marvel in the beauty of the world around us. They connect us to nature, and in that connection, a link to simpler pleasures. Marilla Field & Flora seeks to provide that connection and to find the beauty in our surroundings.

Beauty in the here and now. Invite local flowers into your life.

With responsibly grown flowers and seasonally inspired designs, my creations tell a story. A story about us, about who we are and where we come from. Beauty in the here and now, with all its perfect imperfections.

I grow the finest quality flowers at our farm in Dexter, Michigan. Marilla Field & Flora is also a design studio, here to service your southeastern Michigan floral needs. Collaborations are always welcome and I love the opportunity to come up with something unique to suit your needs.

I’ve always been a farmer, even before I grew flowers...

I grew up in Ohio on a fruit farm, where my family has developed a deep connection to the land over the three generations that we have called it home. To this day, my favorite place on Earth is sitting barefoot on my parents’ back porch at the end of a summer day, cicadas buzzing in the trees, the sandstone steps still warm from the summer sun, and a bowl of freshly sliced peaches in hand. You can see every shade of green imaginable sitting there as the sun sets behind a July tree line. But my parents encouraged me to spread my wings, convinced that life had more in store for me than farming. And so I did.

I went to fashion design school, and all the exotic places that learning the art and then practicing it across a 10 year career took me. I found the love of my life in Texas, and discovered that he was from the other side of the world. He loved my Midwestern orchard stories, and I his stories of rambutan and purple motorcycles. It turns out that exotic is a relative term. After years in the manic fashion world, and with a baby on the way, fate brought me back to the land through flowers. I invite you to join me, on this journey of connection and beauty, in the hopes that flowers will enrich your life as they have mine.
