Where the woodland becomes design
A PNW woodland atelier crafting native foliage and woody cuts for designers who see poetry in form.
Hand-cut in small batches from our five-acre woodland in the Arlington–Stanwood corridor.
For designers who see poetry in form
Woody Shoots exists for floral and event designers who are drawn to texture, movement, and quiet woodland beauty. Native-first palettes, evergreen backbone, and crooked, character-rich stems are the language we speak.
- Native foliage and woody cuts, curated for design
- Couture evergreen backbone for winter and early spring
- Woodland branches, berries, and understory botanicals
- Small-batch, hand-cut stems – never mass-produced
- Collaboration by appointment for specific palettes and forms
If you see arrangements as poems, not products, you’re in the right place.
Seasonal woodland botanicals
The woodland shifts in quiet increments. Our cuts follow those seasons – from evergreen backbone and architectural stems to fleeting, small-scale blooms and berries that feel like cameos.
Evergreen backbone
Textural conifers, native evergreens, and understory foliage that hold their shape and scent – the spine of winter and early spring work.
Woodland texture & branches
Woodland texture & branches.
Cameo blooms & berries
Native blossoms and berries that appear briefly and with intention – quiet focal points rather than massed color.
About the atelier
Woody Shoots is a small woodland atelier rooted in the foothills of the Pacific Northwest, where scarcity becomes strength, and each stem is chosen for character, not commodity.
After a 35-year career in telecommunications, I traded fiber networks for forest understory, building a studio on a five-acre woodland in the Arlington–Stanwood corridor. My work centers on native botanicals, seasonal rhythm, and quiet stewardship of the land.
Every cut is hand-selected, bunch by bunch, with designers in mind – how a stem will arc in a compote, anchor a ceremony structure, or carry a line through an installation.
I think of it less as farming and more as tending a palette for kindred designers.
How to work with me:
Woody Shoots works by appointment with a small circle of design professionals. Each collaboration is tailored – from stem scouting to quietly filling gaps in your palette.
Share your palette
Send over your event date, color story, and the kind of forms you’re building – compotes, cascades, installations, or micro-pieces.
Review what the woodland offers
I’ll share current availability – native foliage, woody cuts, and textural stems that align with your brief – including notes on movement and vase life.
Confirm cuts & pickup
Once we agree on stems and quantities, I cut to order in small batches for your date. Pickup is by appointment only in the Arlington–Stanwood corridor.
For availability, woodland walk-throughs, or specific stem scouting, please reach out. I work with a small circle of designers each season.
