In the world of floral design, greenery is more than filler—it’s a foundation. That’s why our work begins in the forest.In their feature titled The Sustainable Art of Wild Harvesting, Thursd. explored how CFG’s wild-harvested products set us apart. Every stem we harvest—salal, sword fern, huckleberry, beargrass, and rush—is handpicked by experienced crews using low-impact techniques that protect root systems and promote natural regrowth.“We harvest with purpose,” the article notes. “No machinery. No clear-cutting. Just knowledge passed down over decades.”

🪵 What Makes Our Wild Harvest Special

  • Minimal Impact: Our hand-harvesting leaves native ecosystems intact, protecting the biodiversity of the land.
  • Maximum Freshness: Forest-grown greens are cut to order and cooled within hours to maintain integrity and shelf life.
  • Locally Sourced: We work on privately owned forests and timberlands across Washington and Oregon, respecting access agreements and long-term sustainability goals.
  • Regionally Unique: With its cool coastal climate, volcanic soil, and shaded undergrowth, the Pacific Northwest produces foliage not found anywhere else.

🍃 Product Highlights from the Article:

  • Salal: Long-lasting, glossy, and available year-round
  • Sword Fern: Fan-like fronds perfect for volume and texture
  • Beargrass: Long blades ideal for loops and line work
  • Huckleberry: Distinctive branching and color in late summer/fall
  • Rush: A designer favorite for structure and modern styling

🌱 A Legacy of Stewardship

As Thursd. shared, our commitment goes beyond the bouquet. Our harvesting methods are rooted in forest regeneration, landowner partnerships, and long-term vision. We’re not just gathering greens—we’re preserving ecosystems that have supported this industry for generations.
