About

Vintage Green

At Vintage Green, our mission is to offer exceptional botanical products and services while educating our customers on minimizing their environmental impact.
We honor and respect nature by practicing sustainability through upcycling and reusing second-hand containers, sourcing locally grown plants, and incorporating seasonally foraged materials.
Inspired by nature's beauty, we infuse our passion into every design, focusing on the harmony of shape, color and texture to create arrangements that appear to grow together naturally. Our goal is to create designs where “plants play well together,” reflecting a seamless and enduring natural beauty.

About Melissa

Melissa is an experienced gardener, designer, nature enthusiast, and botanical expert with roots in Australia. Her name, which comes from the Greek word for "Honeybee," reflects her connection to the natural world.
She has a strong background in garden and floral design, with a degree in landscape architecture and diplomas in permaculture & floral design. Melissa's interest in plants began at a young age, influenced by her parents & grandmother, who introduced her to orchids when she was twelve. The love affair began!
Relocating internationally several times due to her husband’s profession, Melissa worked as a freelance designer while raising their children. In 2021, her family moved to Charlotte, NC, coinciding with her children graduating from high school, allowing her to further focus on her career.
Outside her professional activities, Melissa enjoys gardening with native plants, growing vegetables, cooking healthy meals, practicing yoga, hiking, cycling and loves thrifting & antiquing.
