What’s in the Gunnii Hill Wreath? The Gunnii Hill Wreath is a handmade, fresh seasonal wreath of foraged and partner farm-grown greenery, with an ever-changing supporting cast of textural bits. It’s made at Farmgirl’s Farmquarters in Gig Harbor, WA, and designed to hang right out of the box. Browse all of our seasonal wreaths here.

Does this wreath smell good? Yes. The fresh foliages used on this wreath are all naturally fragrant, so this wreath smells green, herby, and a little savory. Good scents: If your recipient is sensitive to fragrance, please gift accordingly.

What is Gunnii Hill? Gunnii Hill is the Gig Harbor, Washington property that’s home to Farmquarters, Farmgirl Flowers’ headquarters and design studio. It’s named for gunnii, our favorite eucalyptus variety, which we’ve planted on part of the property. Want the whole backstory? Read the Farmgirl story.
-
Does the Gunnii Hill Wreath actually contain gunnii eucalyptus? Sometimes, but not always! The fresh greenery in this wreath is a mix of foliage foraged on our property and foliage we bring in from farm partners in Washington, Oregon, and/or California. We'll include gunnii eucalyptus when it's available, looks good, and complements the design we're after!
-
How long does a fresh greenery wreath last? The Gunnii Hill Wreath arrives fresh and dries naturally as it hangs. How fast it dries depends on the wreath's ingredients as well as the temperature, humidity, and light where you hang it. In general, eucalyptus foliage starts to dry on average within a week of arrival, while evergreen foliage can last a couple of weeks or more before showing signs of crisping. Drying is part of the plan here, not a problem to solve. The colors soften, the textures change, and the herbs go from garden-fresh to spice-drawer chic.
-
How can I make my fresh wreath last longer? Keep it cool, out of direct sun, and away from heat. A light misting with water every few days helps the greenery hold its color a little longer (just go easy on painted or wooden doors that might water-spot).
-
What size is this wreath, and how does it ship? The wreath is about 22–24" across and is constructed on a metal wreath frame that measure 15-18" in diameter. It ships in a 24" x 24" x 6” box, tucked in with protective paper so it stays put in transit. We ship nationwide to the lower 48 states, so check delivery availability with the calendar on this page. When it arrives, pop it out of the box and gently run your fingers through the foliage to fluff out any box-induced bedhead.
-
Does it come with a hanger? It doesn’t. All you need is a spot and something to hang it on: an over-the-door wreath hanger, an adhesive hook, or a good old-fashioned nail.
-
Does this wreath come with a ribbon? Yes, it does. We'll choose the ribbon's color and composition based on the day's design. Sorry, we cannot accommodate specific requests.
-
Can I hang the Gunnii Hill Wreath outside? Yes. The Gunnii Hill Wreath is happy on a front door or indoors, and cool outdoor air actually slows its drying. Indoors, hang it away from heat vents, fireplaces, and sunny windows (a radiator is not its friend).
-
Will any two Gunnii Hill Wreaths be exactly the same? No. Gunnii Hill Wreaths made on the same day or in the same week will be similar, but they'll be more cousins than twin sisters.
-
Is the Gunnii Hill Wreath safe for pets? We don’t recommend placing this wreath within reach of pets. The ASPCA lists eucalyptus, which we include when it’s available, as toxic to cats and dogs, and the mix of greenery and textural bits changes week to week. To be on the safe side, hang this wreath well out of pets' reach (the outside of a front door is perfect), or browse our Pet Friendly Shop instead.
The Farmgirl Promise: While working with Mother Nature means that we can’t guarantee that the foliage and colors will be exactly as stated (or pictured!), we can guarantee that we’ll always ship the highest quality greenery, and that your wreath will arrive fresh, beautiful, and ready to hang, and that you (or your recipient) will love it!
