Welcome to MaBelle’s Garden! What a wonderful year we have had! 2024 was an amazing ride in Connecticut growing and creating magical floral abundance and beauty. Now we are in Ojai and love designing florals in our local area in California. Our wedding venues ranged from a glamorous black tie New Year’s Eve soiree to a joyous celebration at a country club, an intimate backyard wedding under a majestic sugar maple named Galadriel, a chapel wedding in Chester, an autumnal feast of foliage and blooms at the Polo Fields in Farmington, a Mystic Seaport extravaganza and an elegant evening wedding under a crescent moon at Old Saybrook Point. Every wedding was a masterpiece in its own right! I have fallen in love with the process “from seed to celebration”. If you are visiting us for the first time I will give you a brief history of our journey. We began in the Ojai Valley growing from seed on our micro flower farm in 2018. We had a great ride albeit was a bumpy off road ride mixed with fires, mudslides, the pandemic and a drought! Aren’t start ups fun? Believe it or not we had more fun than not. I look back with mostly fond memories, but by the end of 2022 something had to give so we found a historical house circa 1786 in Connecticut to renovate that had not a flower in sight. I spent 2 years renovating and decorating the Salt Box Colonial adorning her walls with William Morris wallpapers and created magical gardens. Although I love New England and her glorious seasons, I missed my beloved California where my roots and family are. My daughter Ruby is joining me now officially to be my partner bringing in the wedding season of 2025 and I am thrilled to be HOME!

With Love and flowers,

Eileen
