About Ponderosa and Thyme
Ponderosa & Thyme creates experiences and opportunities centered around creativity, authenticity, and personal growth.
We work to create a supportive and inspiring environment that is immersive, intimate, beautiful, and warm. An environment where people can be truly present and connect honestly with themselves and others, in their pursuit of artistic expression and a sustainable life.
Floristry, floral design, is the artistic medium founder Katie Davis uses to facilitate these experiences.
Katie Davis is an internationally acclaimed florist based in Salem, Oregon, the heart of the Willamette Valley. Since founding Ponderosa & Thyme in 2011, Katie has become known for her textural designs inspired by nature. Her floral designs use the most luxurious and beautiful flowers available while incorporating locally foraged, unique, and sensory plants into each arrangement. The result is a visually breathtaking experience.
Katie's design aesthetic could be best described as playful, romantic, herb-y, and fragrant. In addition to creating florals for intimate weddings, Katie and her team host incredible workshops worldwide for florists and other creatives to explore the art of floral design. Ponderosa & Thyme continues to offer wedding and event services, specializing in intimate and heartfelt experiences.
With a heart for education, Katie has been teaching floral design since 2014, serving clients across the globe. Flowers are a language of their own, and while teaching in English, Katie is able to cross cultures with her thoughtful and emotional approach. Just as comfortable teaching the basics as she is pushing experienced professionals to expand their creative boundaries, Katie loves to help people grow, discover, and connect.
