Serviceberry by Robin Wall Kimmerer

$20.00
[Scribner]

An Instant New York Times Bestseller

From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Braiding Sweetgrass, a bold and inspiring vision for how to orient our lives around gratitude, reciprocity, and community, based on the lessons of the natural world.

As Indigenous scientist and author of Braiding Sweetgrass Robin Wall Kimmerer harvests serviceberries alongside the birds, she considers the ethic of reciprocity that lies at the heart of the gift economy. How, she asks, can we learn from Indigenous wisdom and the plant world to reimagine what we value most? Our economy is rooted in scarcity, competition, and the hoarding of resources, and we have surrendered our values to a system that actively harms what we love. Meanwhile, the serviceberry’s relationship with the natural world is an embodiment of reciprocity, interconnectedness, and gratitude. The tree distributes its wealth—its abundance of sweet, juicy berries—to meet the needs of its natural community.
About Our Flowers

Every FLWR arrangement is individually designed with the best flowers available that day. We handpick unusual varieties, seasonal favorites and exceptional stems for their color, form and movement rather than working from fixed recipes. Your arrangement will reflect the palette and feeling pictured here, while the flowers themselves will be particular to the season and the moment.

SIzing

Our arrangements are generously sized and designed for consistency at every price point. Our $100 arrangement is perfectly suited as a centerpiece for a four-person dining table. As you move up in size, expect a noticeably larger, fuller arrangement with more flowers and greater impact

Care

A little care goes a long way. Keep the vase topped up with fresh water, and change the water every couple days whenever possible. Keep your flowers away from direct sunlight, heating and air-conditioning vents, and other sources of extreme heat or cold. Remove individual blooms as they fade and enjoy watching your arrangement change as it ages.
