Meet the team!

 The faces behind your flowers.

    

Sarah

she / her / hers

With over 25 years of floral + garden design experience under her belt, Sarah knows how to make your creative vision a reality, no matter how outside the box you care to venture. When she’s not playing with flowers, she can be found thrifting, foraging in the woods, and growing beautiful blooms in her garden. She moved back to Wisconsin in 2012, leaving her fast-paced floral event studio, Sassafras, where she did flowers for weddings + large scale corporate events. After moving out to her farm on the Red Cedar River, she started doing weddings with flowers from her own backyard, and in 2018, Hive & Hollow was born.

   

 

Rowan

Our in-house tech guru, web designer, e-commerce manager, and social media maven keeps us on our toes! With a great eye for design and love for detail, Rowan designs our product displays and helps with merchandise sourcing. Rowan grew up in the floral world, helping his mom, Sarah, in her Northeast Minneapolis studio. When he’s not at the shop you can find him scouring thrift stores for Danish modern furniture, taking pictures, and spending time with his cat and dog.

 

Charis

With roots in the Pacific Northwest, Charis grew up surrounded by talented gardeners with an eye for design. She lives in Menomonie with her husband, son, two cats and a horse, and is thrilled to be working at Hive & Hollow surrounded by some of her favorite people and gorgeous seasonal blooms. Charis can also be found curating craft cocktails and scrumptious desserts at the Mabel Tainter Theater's speakeasy, The Spirit Room. 

 

 

Ana

Ana’s background in horticulture and passion for plants make her a natural fit at the Hive. As a bonus, she also enjoys hunting for unique vintage treasures, some of which can be found in the Menomonie shop under “Wolbert & Co.” Ana loves being part of the Hive & Hollow team and spending time working with florals. In the summer she can be found tending her garden, being happy that it’s not winter.
    

Lauren

Born and raised in Eau Claire, Lauren is our EC shop gal. After getting her degree in Social Work in Minneapolis, she started a family and moved back to Eau Claire. At Hive & Hollow she gets to blend her love of flowers and vintage home goods. She also owns a small vintage business called “Moss Shoppe,” and many of her finds also turn up on the shelves at the EC store! In her free time, Lauren loves to do anything outdoors, thrift, read, and spend time with her family and two dogs.
