The Journey to Sustainable Flower Farming

After years in the floral and produce industries, Maru realized that sustainable, locally grown flowers are not only better for the environment but also last longer and bring more joy. She founded Monarch Beauty Farm to offer vibrant, eco-friendly blooms that support local pollinators and the community—perfect for everyone who care about the planet, love flowers, and enjoy making their homes a little brighter all year long.

 

Monarch Beauty: A Model of Sustainable Urban Farming

Born in the heart of Chicago’s Northside, Monarch Beauty Farm began with a simple vision: to create healthy ecosystems for local and migrant pollinators. What started as a small farmette has grown into three thriving gardens, using regenerative practices and native plants to grow flowers in harmony with nature. Monarch Beauty Farm offers private floral workshops, custom bouquets, and florals for small events. From fresh, specialty flowers to our vibrant market presence, we bring beauty and sustainability to every arrangement.
