Happy Thursday!

Let’s talk Olive Trees.

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

Ancient Greece: The olive branch was sacred to Athena and became a symbol of peace and prosperity. Victors of the Olympic Games were crowned with olive wreaths, representing honor and friendship. I think they should bring this tradition back. Scrap the medals, bring back the olive leaf crowns! 😋

Longevity & resilience: Olive trees can live for centuries and withstand harsh conditions, so they’ve come to represent lasting relationships, wisdom, hope and endurance.

[We love those gifts that just keep on growing, holding those symbolic memories for your friend well into the future. Roses and fruit trees we’re looking at you too!] 🍋🌹

And maybe the most obvious point:

Fruit! Yep, young olive trees will reward a little patience with real olives. Ahhhh yes, now we’re dreaming about adding some extra home-grown flavour to a tasty cheese and wine platter, or even bottling a batch with friends.

No wonder they fly out the greenhouse door!
