About
for earth, for flow, for shared time, for beauty, for love
Who we are
We’re Kaleigh and Jeff - florists, flower farmers, and lovebirds based in Seattle, WA. Seasons and cycles, landscape and wilderness guide so much of our flower work. We both grew up in the Seattle area, and feel a deep connection to the waters, trees, mountains, and skies of this place.
Honey Water is our flower garden and floral design studio. We grow our flowers on a little plot just south of downtown Seattle, on Jeff’s grandma’s land right on the sound. We get to share in the sweetness and flow of growing flowers and arranging them for you, your loved ones, and all the shared time in between.
Kaleigh spent years farming and arranging flowers on Orcas Island, after running different garden programs. She paused her flower endeavors to get her master’s in teaching and taught horticulture for three years before shifting back into the slower, more tender pace of growing flowers. She loves poetry and quiet places, and loves her friends dearly. You can often find her with petals in her pocket and dirt on her boots.
Jeff was a carpenter for many years and spent years working in restaurants, bartending, and hosting Thursday night dinners with his dear friends. He started doing pottery around the same time we started Honey Water and many of vessels for weddings and drieds are made by him. He’s a friend that says “yes” and reads a poem before dinner. Major weeper, big heart. You can often find him with garden snips in his pocket, admiring a dog across the street.
growing, tending, creating
Our garden
We grow a range of cut flowers on a small plot on Jeff’s grandma’s land, for which we are so grateful. Jeff grew up roaming his grandma’s gardens, so it’s especially meaningful to get to tend to the garden just below her house. Over the past three growing seasons, we have recovered old overgrown beds, cleared blackberry brambles, built raised beds, experienced king tides and all the mysteries and magic of growing in the PNW.
We strive to nourish the soil and be caring neighbors to the ocean ecosystem we are so close to by using regenerative growing practices and a light touch. We hand water our beds and practice creating habitat for
the birds and other creatures we share the space with. Our flowers are grown for weddings, events, pop-ups, holiday markets, and custom orders. We don’t grow on an efficient production level, but a small and slow amount that’s enough for what we need.
This ethos is important to us, because it shapes the way our flowers and designs feel. Space for intention, for care, for creativity, for that bit of wildness to come in. Not aiming for perfection, but reaching towards what feels beautiful and alive.
Our style
Honey Water is a design studio specializing in natural and seasonally inspired weddings and events. The designs we create are alive with the wild essence of the flowers. From seed, to vase, from the heart. You can feel the flowers and foliage guiding the way through texture, form, and a soulful glow reflected in each creation.
