mhagain has just left Hobbiton.
The simplest answer is that Lórien wasn't 100% woodland, and I'm not aware of any writing that supports that notion.

In fact, in the Lembas essay in the Peoples of Middle-earth we have an explicit statement that Lórien contained glades and clearings where Lembas at least was grown:
Quote:
The Eldar grew it in guarded lands and sunlit glades
