About the Hawthorn Collection

From the beautiful, delicate blossoms of the Hawthorn trees that punctuate our hedgerows and fields in early summer, to the deep red berries that are ablaze in the stark boughs in winter, the Hawthorn is a beautiful tree, steeped in local and celtic tradition.

In Celtic mythology, the Hawthorn was one of, if not the, most likely tree to be inhabited of protected by the 'little people' (Mooinjer Veggey) or fairies. Though the tiny sweet red berries (haws) are used in jams, jellies and wines, all parts of the plant—the leaves, flowers, berries, stems, and even the bark—have long been used in herbal medicine.
