Why Olive Trees? (Think: Peace, Friendship and Cheese Platters)
Why Olive Trees Make Beautiful Gifts of Peace & Friendship
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!
