Worcester Wreath growing method leads to best balsam!

Posted by S. on 3/5/2012 to

The secret to growing extraordinary balsam for wreaths is making sure the trees have plenty of sunlight so they produce "round brush instead of flat brush.

Worcester Wreath Co. takes great pride in being one of the few wreath makers in the world that grows its own balsam, which makes up at least 90 percent of every balsam product. Why is owning the land and trees so important to producing the best balsam? Just like people, balsam trees grow better with extra sunlight. Worcester Wreath thins out the trees on its land so that each tree gets maximum sunlight from all possible angles.

Growing our own balsam trees ensures top quality wreaths

Learn what separates Worcester Wreath Co. from the rest

Growing our own balsam trees at the Worcester Wreath Co. has made a huge difference in the quality of products that we can deliver to customers. When we started in business, like other wreath makers, we had to buy balsam from anybody that would gather and you got what they delivered, no matter what the quality. If it was inferior, you had to buy it, because we had to make the product anyway.

The Symbolism of a Wreath

Posted by S. on 2/6/2012 to

Although the balsam wreaths we make at Worcester Wreath Co. are most often associated with the Christmas season, the wreath itself has a rich history of symbolism.

In ancient Greece and Rome, wreaths were known as diadems, from the Greek "diadema," which means "a thing bound around." Wreaths were worn or hung to represent a person's occupation, rank and status.

Wreaths made of laurel were associated with the Greek god Apollo, known as the god of life and light. One myth describes Apollo's romantic pursuit of the nymph Daphne. She fled and asked for help from the river god, Peneus, who turned her into a laurel tree. From then on, Apollo wore a laurel wreath on his head, and the wreath became associated with the characteristics of Apollo --victory, achievement and status.
