For those who seek beauty in the quiet, reflective moments and understand that growth often arrives in the gentlest of forms, this pairing — This Wild and Precious Life by Mary Oliver and a delicate, handcrafted wreath from Treehorn Farm — is an invitation to pause and listen to the natural world.
THE WREATH:
- This charming 6” wreath is filled with the radiant colors of strawflowers and lush greenery. The vibrant, jewel-toned flowers have been carefully dried, preserving their color and form as a testament to the beauty in transition. Each flower evokes the quiet persistence of nature, blooming and changing with the passage of time, even in the stillness of winter.
THE BOOK:
Mary Oliver’s This Wild and Precious Life brings together poetry and reflection, offering an invitation to write about the wonder of life around us. Through poems that explore the mysteries of the natural world, she draws us into a deeper understanding of our place within it. Her writing prompts guide us toward our own reflections, helping us find clarity in life’s ever-changing landscape.
Oliver writes:
- "I want to be with people who submerge in the task, who go into the fields to harvest the wheat and the flowers, to bake the bread, and to do the work in the world that is necessary." — This Wild and Precious Life
This pairing is for those who know that even in quiet contemplation, we are deeply intertwined with the world’s rhythms, finding our own way to grow and bloom amidst the challenges we face.
Please note:
- Please expect 2-4 weeks for shipping.
- Your wreath comes with a hook to add to the back as well as a brown, velveteen ribbon.
- Each wreath is unique, as it is crafted from natural materials. While colors and blooms may vary slightly, rest assured that the arrangement will remain full of vibrant strawflowers and lush fillers.
- We take great care in wrapping and shipping wreaths, but because dried flowers are delicate, we include a small posey to replace any fallen flowers. Simply tuck them into your wreath, or, if none have fallen off, your posey will come wrapped with a bow to brighten your space.
- To preserve the beauty of your wreath, keep it out of direct sunlight and avoid getting it wet or damp.
