About Earth Within Flowers

A Unique Approach

Hi, I am Melissa Emily! I absolutely love working with flowers and plants that represent the beauty of the Montana landscape, working with innovative design concepts that match my clients’ unique style and personality.

I’ve combined my background in herbalism, flower-farming and MSc. in Environmental Education in my designs and teaching. My work is seasonally expressed and has been described as poetic, textured and natural. Earth Within Flowers believes in supporting the local environment and farmers by sourcing blooms and foliage from local and regional farmers and ethically harvesting from wild and natural areas.

Meet Yarrow

Yarrow is the newest addition to the our team. He was rescued from a meat market in South Korea and brought to a shelter in Thompson Falls, Montana where we snatched him up. Yarrow, a native Montana wildflower, means warrior of courage and protection. Yarrow is super gentle, full of personality and loves to chew on pine cones and woody flowers in the studio.
