Bright, wide-open sunflowers & blushing lotuses, fragrant jasmines & twinkling periwinkles: the diversity of flowers can take our breath away.
They are nature’s most vibrant realisation of desire; their evolution is tinted with a hint of magic. Pressed in books & adorning our hair, these sensuous blossoms signal romance to us too, not just pollinators like bees & birds.
This band is an invitation to travel with these pollen & seed laden wonders: through the scented wind & flowing water, on the bodies of bats & the beaks of hummingbirds.
Let’s make offerings of love, kinship, & gratitude by tying, sowing, & nurturing these bands, & open a window into wonder.
Only WE, humans, are conscious. WE are intelligent. WE have feelings & families & histories…
All of these beliefs have been challenged & it means that “WE” need to expand beyond the human realm & imagine a new way of co-existing in this world. To accept this shift in our consciousness—to always be becoming—is our essence.
Like a cocooned caterpillar, the blossoming bud, water flowing downriver, or the continuous rounding of a stone—there is a tender beauty in evolving.
These bands are also ever-evolving—a bond from the transforming ecosystem in our farm to the quiet changes in all of us. “Pay attention to the transformation within & without,” they seem to say. It will surprise & nourish us on this journey.
Plantable & Gender-Inclusive Seed Bands handcrafted from non-Gnentically-Modified & Intellectual-Property-Rights-free naturally dyed & hand-spun yarn of organically grown, Indigenous cotton. Plantable Seed Papers on which bands are wrapped are handmade, up-cycled & biodegradable.
