Native botanicals for Floral Designers
Woody Shoots is a small PNW woodland atelier crafting native botanical materials for floral designers drawn to texture, movement, and quiet woodland beauty.
Native-first palettes, select evergreen presence, and crooked, character-rich stems are the language we speak.
For design-forward florists, stylists, and studios
If texture, story, and a sense of place draw you in, you’re in the right woodland.
design with intention
You build arrangements from gesture and form, not just recipes. Instead of simply filling space, you’re choreographing line, weight, and atmosphere.
value native + seasonal
You’re drawn to PNW-native foliage, woodland understory, and botanicals that feel rooted in this place — not flown in from everywhere else. You understand that seasonality isn’t a limitation, but a design partner.
prefer collaboration
You want a grower who can walk the woods with you — scouting textures, sharing what’s thriving, and offering honest, thoughtful availability shaped by the season.
What you’ll find at Woody Shoots
Think of Woody Shoots as your woodland backroom—a place to source backbone, texture, and quiet details that make your designs feel grounded in the PNW.
Backbone & structure
- Architectural woody cuts with curve and character
- Evergreen and deciduous foliage chosen for line, resilience, and foam-free work
- Textural understory materials that blur the line between garden and forest
Seasonal counterpoints
- Woodland spring ephemerals and understory blossoms (when the forest allows)
- Berry, seed, and twig accents that bring depth to winter and shoulder seasons
- Mossy, branchy, and “in-between” elements for installations and styled work
Seasonal rhythm in the woodland
Availability is shaped by our five-acre woodland — its light, its rain, and its rhythm. Here’s how the seasons tend to unfold for design work.
Winter – frost + structure. Colored Cornus stems, select evergreen presence, and bare, expressive line shape the bones of your work when petals are scarce.
Early spring – unfurling. First soft greens, native understory movement, and lightly scented early accents signal that the woodland is waking.
Late spring – layering. Foliage color deepens, texture builds, and palettes become more tonal and grounded as the season leans toward summer.
Autumn – fade & ember. Berries, moss, lichen, and weathered tones bring a quieter richness — work that feels closer to the woodland floor than the flower field.
I work with a small circle of designers each season, so there’s room for conversation, scouting, and thoughtful harvests, rather than chasing every date on the calendar.
Some designers work with the woodland season after season; others step in for specific windows when the materials align.
How we’ll work together
Introduce your studio
Send a brief note with your studio name, location, and the kinds of projects you design—weddings, events, daily work, or editorial. This helps me understand how you work and where you might naturally support your designs.
Shape a seasonal palette
We’ll discuss timing, color direction, and the mood you’re aiming to create. I’ll share what’s unfolding in the woodland and suggest materials that suit your mechanics, scale, and way of working—always guided by the season rather than a fixed list.
Cut-to-order harvest
Once we align, materials are harvested to order for your project window. Pickups are by appointment only in the Arlington–Stanwood corridor, ensuring stems remain fresh and the process remains unrushed.

If this feels aligned, tell me about your studio and the kind of work you’re building.
These answers are meant to support seasonal collaboration rather than fixed ordering expectations.
Practical details for designers
For weddings and larger events, 4–8 weeks is ideal, allowing time to plan harvests around your palette, mechanics, and the woodland’s natural timing.
For smaller projects or editorial work, reach out as soon as dates are confirmed and you have a general sense of scope.
Because each harvest is cut to order, I do ask for a modest minimum per project.
Think in terms of a focused design need rather than one-off stems or small add-ons.
If you’re unsure whether your project fits, send a note and we can talk it through.
At this time, all orders are pickup only in the Arlington–Stanwood corridor. This keeps stems as fresh and unhandled as possible. If you’re working on a larger installation and need support, we can discuss options.
A pull is a curated selection of seasonal materials cut and conditioned to your project—planned for palette, mechanics, scale, and the woodland’s timing. It’s not a stem-by-stem menu; it’s an intentional set designed to give you range, structure, and cohesion. You’ll receive a simple confirmation of what’s included before pickup. Think “a designed set of materials,” not a shopping list.
Pricing reflects seasonal availability, harvest and conditioning time, and the scale of the pull. After we confirm timing and design intention, I’ll share a simple estimated range before I cut. Most pulls land between $450–$1,200, with a $300 minimum per project. Larger weddings and installations can move beyond that range depending on scope and timing.
Yes, because each harvest is cut to order, there is a $300 minimum per project, so the pull can be cohesive and worth preparing.

Not at this time, all orders are pickup only in the Arlington–Stanwood corridor.
This keeps materials fresh and ensures they are gently handled.
For larger installations, support options can be discussed on a case-by-case basis.
Not at this time. Woody Shoots works seasonally rather than from a static list.
Instead, I share what’s looking strong in the woodland in real time, once you reach out with dates and design intention.
Designer visits are occasionally available by appointment.
If a site walk would support a specific project, mention it when you reach out and we can explore what’s possible.
If this way of working resonates, you’re warmly invited to reach out and start a seasonal conversation.
