About Me
Hello! I’m Chase, a micro farmer-florist based in Missoula, Montana. I grew up on Bainbridge Island, a small island in Washington, where life revolved around the outdoors. Whether I was climbing trees with friends, exploring the beaches, doing yard work, or walking through the beautiful Grand Forest, I was always outside, surrounded by nature.
I moved to Montana for college and quickly fell even more in love with the outdoors. I spent my time hiking, backpacking, learning new ways of exploring the land, and immersing myself in the beauty of my surroundings. I was eager to learn from nature in every way!
Through my adventures in the Montana wilderness, I began to admire natural beauty in a different way. I started to see it as art. greens and browns blending in the woods, valleys bursting with wildflowers, rivers shades of blues and greens flowing through the landscape. I was inspired and had a whole new appreciation for the natural world.
My appreciation for natural beauty only deepened, and I became infatuated with the flowers I would see. I started noticing them everywhere! On hikes, bike rides, and walks with my dog. Their variety and vibrancy fascinated me. I wanted to learn more, so I started taking pictures, learning their names, and eventually working at the local nursery. I experimented with store-bought bouquets until, finally, I began growing my own flowers at home.
Before stepping into the floral world, I worked in event management for five years. I gained a lot of experience coordinating logistics, navigating high-energy event days, and understanding the emotions behind special occasions. I feel like this perfectly prepared me for this work. I was used to long days and working hard and I wanted to take all of this and channel it into something I truly loved, and that’s how Beverly Blooms was born! Beverly is my middle name, one I’ve grown to love, just as my love for flowers and nature has only deepened over time. Combining that love with my value of community, I feel as though I have found my place.
Now, I’m growing more flowers than I ever imagined on my family’s farm just outside of St. Ignatius, Montana, while running this business in Missoula. Every day is spent expanding my farming knowledge, creating floral designs, and collaborating with fellow creatives and local businesses. Each year Beverly Blooms and the farm will grow, expand, and flourish, and I can’t wait to see where it all takes me.
It’s a dream come true, and it’s only the beginning! The support of my community means the world to me. Thank you for visiting and for supporting this small business!
