About the Artist & Grower
I’m Elizabeth Fichter—flower grower, seed saver, and artist working from my family’s historic farm outside St. Louis. My fields and studio serve as both laboratory and muse, where I explore how flowers become pigment, jewelry, and story. Through Queen Bee Blooms I share the results of that collaboration: seasonal seed collections, educational resources for other growers, and glimpses into the creative work that flowers make possible.

The Artist's Garden - A Curated Collection of Living Color
I'm an artist who grows her own crayons, and if you're here, I suspect you are too - even if you've never thought of yourself this way. As gardeners and growers, we already understand the interplay of color, texture, and form. We know how to build layers of beauty through the seasons. We're intimately familiar with our materials - from the way celosia catches late afternoon light to how strawflowers hold their color through drying, and how dahlias, no matter what size, are always the star of any composition.
'The Artist's Garden Collection' is about seeing our growing spaces as more than just gardens - they're living studios where we create with nature's own palette. They offer an opportunity to shape our immediate world into a reflection of our heart and soul, something tangible we can share with others.
The Queen Bee mission has always been simple: 'Share Beauty. Share Love.' - Take your love and grow something beautiful, then share it with the world.
I invite you to see flowers as something more - as artist's materials. YOUR materials: tools for creating beauty and expressing love.
What will be your masterpiece?
