How Much Do We Love Photosynthesis in Olympia? Let Us Count the Ways.

Okay there are way more than 5 reasons that we love Photosythesis in Olympia. At the top of the list is obviously going to be the owners. We've known Radio and Tasha for years through music projects, festivals and other creative endeavors. If you are looking for a friend to roll up their sleeves or to collaborate on a project, this pair is who want on your team. 

1. Flowers Grown and Sources with Intention

Photosynthesis features flowers grown by Tasha herself or sourced locally and ethically throughout the PNW. Every bouquet that she makes is a work of art. They are always stunning and a reflection of the creative genius sparking off of Tasha 24/7. 

2. Community at the Center

This is more than a shop — it’s a creative community hub. People come to connect, explore, and support local makers. If you ever have questions of need tips on picking out the best set-up Radio and Tasha are there to guide you to success! Between the two of them they have over four decades of experience that they are ready to share. It aligns perfectly with how we want Tanglewood to show up in the world.

3. Flowers + Synths = Pure Olympia Magic

Only in Olympia do you get fresh blooms beside synths and sound gear — and somehow it feels completely natural. It’s a sensory mash-up that sparks curiosity. They also have beautiful candles (we can't get enough of PF Candle Company), housewares, incense and body care items from local and independent makers. Check out the essences made by healer Shayne Case and Kate's Magic natural fragrances and elixirs. 

4. A Space That Invites You In

Photosynthesis is warm, welcoming, and run by people who genuinely love what they do. You feel it the moment you walk in the door. Between the custom lights, curated displays and sculpture-like flower bouquets you will feel inclined to have some chai and stay for a minute.  

5. A True PNW Original

From the goods they curate to the artists they uplift, Photosynthesis is the kind of independent, community-rooted business we’re proud to partner with.
