Our Story
Gardens of Honey is more than a clothing brand and boutique. We are a movement to make the world a kinder and more sustainable place. We empower other artisans by sourcing beautifully handcrafted products that represent pollinators, beekeepers, and nature as a whole. We donate our time and other resources to non-profit organizations within the community.
How We Started
The first edition of this website was created in February 2019 with a drop shipping model, where the products were sent from China. With the help of the collective voices of our vast social media following accompanied by customer feedback, our team quickly realized that the quality of the merchandise was poor and unsatisfactory. We began to question the origin and the essence of our business - the products we were selling. Given the fact we were everything but proud of the brand we have barely established, we decided to rebrand our business concept and alternate the entire website.
We could instead offer items that we are passionate about. After weeks of planning and preparation, we decided to bring awareness of our brand by choosing local products and to support hand-crafted products made by artisans. Moreover, we now aspire to recognize the issues faced by honeybee keepers and provide them with funds needed for a positive change.Thus, we partnered with a local non-profit to which we donate our time, a portion of sales and other resources to support their mission and to jointly contribute to honeybee conservation and education.
As a result of our passionate desire to make a meaningful impact, we are proud to have developed a global community of nature-lovers, beekeepers and eco-conscious consumers who have helped us build the identity of our brand Gardens of Honey. We are a mission-driven, enlightened, fun-loving company that supports honeybee conservation around the world.
Meet Us
Andrea Schultz, Founder
Andrea grew up on a farm in Ohio and since the youngest age, she felt truly connected to the nature as she explored the countryside and played in the wildflower fields. She comes from a family of avid gardeners and animal lovers, what she inherited from her mother and grandmother. She loves visiting her grandmothers’ home in Georgia where the balcony is lined with hummingbird feeders overlooking her garden and the mountains.
Andrea moved to Florida in 1990, has spent many years working in corporate America and received an MBA in March 2019, but her passion for the outdoors, nature and the Earth brought her to the launch of Gardens of Honey. She is the founder of this family-owned sustainable business, dedicated to empowering local production and artisans by sourcing beautifully handcrafted products that represent some of Earth’s most precious resources – pollinators.
