In summer the song sings itself.

--William Carlos Williams

The summer solstice approaches. Its song has arrived in olive orchards, where the orchestra of bees, birds and dragonflies creates music that calls out for a picnic under the silver canopy of trees. Our Bella di Cerignola olive tree, below, has been creating beautiful music and the world's most beloved olive for centuries. Summer may be brief, but olive trees last for generations.

Michael Michaud's botanical tableware continues to dazzle. Fruits, leaves and bark are transformed into heirloom-quality plates, miniature boxes and serving pieces. His New York foundry is one of the few remaining that continue the ancient art of lost wax casting from natural objects. A new piece, the apple box, is now available and warrants close inspection.
