Palestinian Wildflower Pocket Guide [Free Download Available]

€15,00

Palestinian traditional knowledge is at increasing risk of being lost. This is one small intervention we have made towards preserving that knowledge and helping people to identify the trees, shrubs, wildflowers, and wildlife in Palestine. In naming, we are also claiming responsibility for their well-being. When a child walks by a wild spiny hawthorn tree, she can recognize it, understand that it is edible, perhaps eat its fruits, or pick flowers or leaves to make some tea as her ancestors have always done. For the first time ever it is available in print on our website! Download a free pdf of the flower guide to your mobile, and carry it with you everywhere you go. Please note the PDF is the first edition and the print booklet is a 4th edition.

THE ETHOS

In the face of systemic economic closure, the act of making is an act of resistance. Our Traditional Craft track is anchored in the preservation of the Palestinian identity through the hands of the people. This is not mass-produced "folk art"—it is the survival of the master-craftsman.

THE PILLARS

1. **The Women’s Cooperative**: Featuring the work of *Manjel Ma'qoud*, a female-led embroidery guild formed in response to the economic suffocation of 2024. Their Tatreez is a living language of village history.
2. **Hebron Fire & Earth**: Hand-blown Phoenician glass and hand-painted ceramics from the last family workshops in Hebron, utilizing techniques refined over five centuries.
3. **Bethlehem Olive Wood**: Carved from the prunings of ancient trees, ensuring the tree's health while providing livelihoods to the Holy Land Handicraft Cooperative.

THE COMMITMENT
Every piece in this collection is a direct-from-source empowerment. We donate profits from every purchase to local not-for-profits like *Mashjar Juthour* to plant native trees and protect the Palestinian environment.
