About Field & Floral

Hello! My name is Shawna Rude, and I am a sustainable farmer/florist here in Vancouver, Washington. I’ve been creating with flowers for 22 years now, my how the years have flown by! All these years of experience has helped me understand the necessity of sustainable florist practices, so I decided to start Field & Floral Design! 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 10 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!

In addition to drying the flowers we grow for wreaths, bouquets, ect., we are also growing flowers that dye! 2025 was a big year of learning new things, and challenging myself and my business to become more well rounded. I’ve found new ways to use the flowers I grow in ways that last, that hold a piece of nature and is uniquely designed.

I now offer kitchen towels, napkins and the softest bandanna’s. They are all 100% organic cotton and dyed naturally with flower, leaves, and kitchen scraps from my own farm and kitchen. Each piece is unique! There’s no harmful chemicals, so they are gentle on sensitive skin, better for the environment, biodegradable, and often antimicrobial as well! It’s pretty cool.

Another new product I decided to jump into learning is candle making with beeswax which I source from a local apiary. This has been SO fun! Omg, the different molds I use to make cute woodland candles fits right in with my “cozy home” aesthetic.

All in all, I’m so excited to share these special designs with you all! I’ll be at the Downtown Vancouver Farmer’s Market most Saturdays this year (except July/August). See you there!
