About the Author

I’m Catherine, the heart behind Hive & Petal—a boutique flower farm and apiary in Prairie City, Iowa. When I’m not harvesting blooms or tending honeybees, I’m often crafting something beautiful, cooking something delicious, or watching hens explore the field. I believe in wide open skies, good books, and sharing farm life—one story (or bouquet) at a time.Â
