Birch or Alder Poles? Natural Oregon Wood for Floral Structures
Newsletter dated March 31, 2022
The March 2022 archive explains an important sourcing distinction: many pale poles described as birch in floral work are native alder harvested in Oregon. The farm supplied these natural poles alongside its spring branch program.
Know the wood you are ordering
The original article identifies the Oregon Coast material as alder rather than assuming that every light-colored pole is botanical birch. Give the farm your preferred bark appearance, diameter, length, and intended use so the material can be described accurately.
From poles to wedding structures
The photo collection includes poles, natural wedding arches, pergolas, and mortise-and-tenon assembly examples. These show how a forest product becomes part of a floral installation; they are examples of past work rather than a fixed package specification.
A spring snapshot from the farm
The accompanying newsletter featured spirea and flowering dogwood, plus quince, pussy willow, cherry, and tulip magnolia. A photograph of the family dog Cruise among white magnolias along the river connects the product list to the farm where it was assembled.
