Flowers are always beautiful, but when
they’re picked arranged in a bouquet, they can become a true work of art. And
that’s exactly what Katie Davis has been doing for a living.
Katie is a professional florist Based in Salem, Oregon. She’s also the owner and founder of Ponderosa and Thyme, an award-winning flower arrangement studio.
Katie’s flower arrangements are
special for several reasons. First, her designs are beautiful – they almost
seem like statues. But it’s not just the way she arranges flowers and plants, it’s
also where she gets them. Katie uses locally-grown flowers and works with
Oregon-based farmers to create arrangements that represent Oregon. The arrangements
change from season to season, as the seasonal flowers change, so now wreath or bouquet
is like any other.
This can be a challenge, of course, as Katie is limited to whatever is available in her home state, but it is also an opportunity to create a community of farmers, florists and flower enthusiasts, who all share a deep love for nature. We can’t all visit Ponderosa and Thyme, unfortunately, but Katie’s IG account does provide us a pick to her wonderful world of plants and flowers. Take a look and maybe you’ll be inspired to create your own bouquet.
