What Plant Should I Send as a Sympathy Gift?

When someone is grieving, it can be difficult to know what to say or send. We love helping with recommendations for thoughtful sympathy plants, including peace lilies, rosemary, olive trees, orchids and other indoor, flowering, fruiting and outdoor plants. Plants send a beautiful and kind message as a sympathy gift delivery, and can carry special meanings and lasting memories during occasions of loss and grief.

Why Olive Trees? (Think: Peace, Friendship and Cheese Platters)

Let’s talk Olive Trees.

One of our most popular garden gifts, and for good reason. These little beauties are such a great option as they’re packed with meaning.

Symbolism: For centuries, olive trees have been the ultimate symbol of peace, friendship, wisdom, and resilience.

Rome & Mediterranean cultures: Olive trees were planted as living symbols of harmony between communities. Sharing olives and oil was a gesture of hospitality and friendship. We still do this today! In the past year, we’ve been gifted beautiful olive oils from family, and home made olive jars from a friend. You can definitely feel the love and effort invested in these gifts!
