Lily of the Valley T-Shirt garden moss gift gentleness

gentleness

and a familiar small regret

For gardeners who hear the dawn chorus and quietly agree with every note

and the slicing is half the fun

Lily of the Valley T-Shirt garden moss gift gentlenessFor gardeners who keep a soft spot for the flowers that bloom low and ring like tiny bells. Lily of the valley arrives in May without fanfare, tucked under broad leaves, sweet enough to find with eyes closed. Convallaria majalis, the old books say. Tender grace, the heart says. It returns each spring to the shadiest corner and makes it the loveliest. For May birthdays and the mothers who love delicate things, it carries a quiet kind of devotion.
