Engraving of garden shears

Craft & botanicals

Grown, gathered, and distilled with precision.

Cypress needle and cedar from the shaded walks. Box clippings from the parterre, used sparingly because the smell of a hedge is stronger than it looks. Linden blossom in a short week of June. Bitter orange leaf from the orangerie boxes, carried indoors before frost.

We buy what we cannot grow. We do not invent a garden that does not exist. If a material cannot be pointed to on the plan, it does not go in the formula.
