About Field & Floral
Hello! My name is Shawna Rude, and I am a sustainable floral designer and flower farmer here in Vancouver, Washington. I’ve been creating with flowers for 21 years now, and this experience has helped me understand the necessity of sustainable florist practices which then led me to create Field & Floral. Floral culture is notoriously wasteful, so I do what I can to work with nature instead of against it.
Each design is free from:
Floral foam, a common ocean polluter
Dye
Preservatives
Commercial Ribbons (acetate and petroleum)
GMO
Pesticides
We’re going on year 9 of growing flowers, and are continually seeking out new methods in sustainability. Currently I find myself working with dried flowers more, and I’m so excited that the word is getting out that dried can be beautiful too! I find so much joy in sharing my love of flowers, I hope you love them as much as me!
Vancouver Farmer’s Market
You can often find us at the Vancouver Farmer’s Market on Saturday’s from 10-2pm until the end of 2025! We’ll have wreaths, everlasting bouquets, naturally hand-dyed fabrics and more.
Field & Floral is part of the Floret’s Farmer-Florist Collective. The Collective is a global, publicly-available map and directory of many of the flower farmers and floral designers who have participated in one of our workshops (Floret & Seasonal Bouquet Project) and currently grow flowers and/or offer floral design services. Although separated by many miles, we are all kindred spirits, united in our love of local, seasonal flowers.
