Our beautiful dried wreaths are all-natural and handmade with real plants. As a result, some materials may shed in transit. This is normal, and we have added additional stems and flowers to compensate for any loss that may occur prior to delivery. Since these dried wreaths are made from real botanicals, they have a mild and pleasant natural scent. Our wreaths are handcrafted from all-natural materials so slight variances in color and size will occur, making every wreath unique!
All of our dried wreaths are designed for indoor use. Hang or display them indoors away from direct sunlight, heat sources, and humidity. When handling them, do so with care to minimize breaking the dried stems. With proper care, your dried wreath will last several months or longer. When not being displayed, it is important to store your wreath in a cool, dry location away from heat and humidity. If your dried wreath needs to be dusted off, we suggest using a hairdryer on a low, no-heat setting and gently “drying” your wreath over a sink to blow off any dust.

Our spring wreaths are made with fresh salal and several varieties of huckleberry including sweet huck, red huckleberry, and green huckleberry. We recommend you hang your fresh spring wreath outside because fresh air extends the life of this natural greenery. Climate and direct sunlight affect how long your fresh wreath will last. Hanging your wreath in a cool location with a good amount of shade will help it live longer. Some customers really want their wreath inside their home, and that is understandable. When placed indoors, they will last approximately 1-2 weeks with proper care. When displayed outdoors, they will last approximately 2-4 weeks in cooler climates and approximately 2 weeks in warmer climates when spritzed regularly with water and kept out of direct sunlight. The branches will slowly dry, creating a unique, dried rustic look over time. Please note that salal and huckleberry are not as hardy as the evergreens (noble fir and cedar) used to in our fresh holiday and Christmas wreaths and don't last as long.
All greenery should be kept away from heat sources that may dry them out such as direct sunlight, heat vents, and open flames. Always keep greens away from ignition sources.
-
We provide care information for our fresh evergreen products directly on the boxes that they are shipped in. It is printed on the inside flap of the box, so it is easy for gift recipients to understand how to take care of their gifts.
Care information can also be found on the Evergreen Care page of our website. -
Evergreen Wreath and Swag Care
We recommend that you hang your evergreen wreath or swag outside because fresh air extends the life of the natural product. Climate and direct sunlight drastically affect how long your evergreens will last. Hanging your evergreen wreath or swag in a cool location with a good amount of shade will help it live longer. In a cool climate out of direct sunlight, our wreaths and swags can last 6 weeks or more when spritzed regularly.
Some customers really want their wreath or swag inside their home, and that is understandable. When placed indoors, they will last about 3 weeks with proper care. Evergreen wreaths and swags absorb moisture through their cut ends. To increase the health and lifespan of your wreath or swag, spritz the back with water every 2-3 days. Evergreens will drink the water, and you will find your wreath or swag to be more fragrant and last longer.
All greenery should be kept away from heat sources that may dry them out such as direct sunlight, heat vents, and open flames. Always keep evergreens away from ignition sources.Evergreen Centerpiece Care
Caring for these fresh products is actually quite easy, as they require very little upkeep. With proper care, our centerpieces should last at least 3 weeks.
Upon arrival, add ½ cup of water to the center of the oasis foam. To properly care for your product, add another ½ cup water and spritz every 2-3 days. This brings out the fragrance.
If your centerpiece has a candle, there will be a green plastic candle holder inserted in the center. For taper candles, simply insert the candles into the holders. For pillar candles, peel off the white square sticker on the candle holder and press the candle firmly into the holder. It is not necessary to use the sticker for LED candles.
All greenery should be kept in a cool location, away from heat sources that may dry them out such as direct sunlight, heat vents, and open flames. Always keep them away from ignition sources. Keep candle flames at least 4” away from the greenery. Never leave lit candles unattended.Tabletop Tree Care
Caring for these products is actually quite easy, as they require very little upkeep. With proper care, our tabletop trees should last at least 3 weeks.
Upon arrival, add up to 8 cups of water directly in the top of the tree (it’s best to move the tree to the kitchen counter in case of spills). Our trees will soak up all that water! To properly care for your product, add another 1 cup or so of water and spritz every 2-3 days. Trees are shipped fairly dry to avoid damage during shipping.All greenery should be kept in a cool location, away from heat sources that may dry them out such as direct sunlight, heat vents, and open flames. Always keep them away from ignition sources.Garland Care
We recommend that you hang your garland outside because fresh air extends the life of this natural product. Climate and direct sunlight drastically affect how long garland will last. Hanging your garland in a cool location with a good amount of shade will help it live longer. In a cool climate out of direct sunlight, our garland can last 4-6 weeks or more when spritzed regularly.
Some customers really want their garland inside their home, and that is understandable. When placed indoors, it will last about 3 weeks with proper care.Garland absorbs moisture through their cut ends. To really increase the health and lifespan of your garland, spritz the cut ends with water every 2-3 days. Evergreens will drink the water, and you will find your garland to be more fragrant and last longer.

Climate makes the biggest difference in the longevity of our products. We always suggest you place your evergreen product outside when possible to increase its longevity.
In colder climates or northern states, our evergreen decorations can last about 6-8 weeks outdoors. So, wreaths delivered around December 1st should last through Christmas with proper care. Many of our customers in colder climates have let us know that their wreaths have lasted through March!In dry climates or southern states, our evergreen decorations can last about 4-6 weeks outdoors. So, wreaths delivered around December 1st should also last through Christmas with proper care. Even in warmer climates, we have seen them last through the middle of January.When kept indoors, our products will still last about 3 weeks when watered regularly.Proper Care: For long-lasting wreaths, swags, and garland, spritz the back of the sprigs (cut ends) with water every two to three days. For centerpieces and tabletop trees, add 1/2 to 1 cup of water to the floral foam and spritz the greens every two to three days (respectively).

Amaryllis are popular flowering bulbs grown indoors during the winter months. In just a few simple steps and with some basic care, you will have stunning blooms to appreciate for weeks!
Care & Planting Instructions:
- Your shipment includes a disc of compressed soil. Simply put this in a bowl, add 3/4 cup warm water, and wait for it to expand (this should only take a minute or two!). Once expanded, stir the soil.
- Add approximately 1/3-1/2 of the soil to the bottom of the plastic insert for your train, plant the bulb pointed side up, and gently pack in the remaining soil around the sides and top of the bulb leaving about 1" of the bulb exposed.
- Place indoors in an area with bright, but indirect, light to trigger the bulb to grow. Amaryllis bulbs are stored in a cold environment to keep them dormant, and are triggered to grow when placed in a warm environment.
- Water about once a week and turn the container periodically to encourage the flower stalks to grow straight.
- In about 6-8 weeks you should have beautiful blooms, which are well worth the wait!
Once the flowers have completed their lifespan, simply cut the stalks to remove them from the bulb.

You can hang your fresh evergreen wreath on most doors, fences, even gates using an over the door wreath hanger. We offer a wide selection of high-quality over the door hangers on our website. Wreaths can also be hung on a nail or screw from the metal frame on the back of the wreath.
A word of advice if using an over the door hanger: wrap the bottom part of the hanger (that will be behind the wreath when hung) with plastic wrap to prevent the possibility of the hanger scratching your door. -

Our spring wreaths are made with fresh salal and several varieties of huckleberry including sweet huck, red huckleberry, and green huckleberry. We recommend you hang your fresh spring wreath outside because fresh air extends the life of this natural greenery. Climate and direct sunlight affect how long your fresh wreath will last. Hanging your wreath in a cool location with a good amount of shade will help it live longer. Some customers really want their wreath inside their home, and that is understandable. When placed indoors, they will last approximately 1-2 weeks with proper care. When displayed outdoors, they will last approximately 2-4 weeks in cooler climates and approximately 2 weeks in warmer climates when spritzed regularly with water and kept out of direct sunlight. The branches will slowly dry, creating a unique, dried rustic look over time. Please note that salal and huckleberry are not as hardy as the evergreens (noble fir and cedar) used to in our fresh holiday and Christmas wreaths and don't last as long.
All greenery should be kept away from heat sources that may dry them out such as direct sunlight, heat vents, and open flames. Always keep greens away from ignition sources.

Our spring centerpieces are made with fresh salal and several varieties of huckleberry including sweet huck, red huckleberry, and green huckleberry. Caring for our fresh centerpieces is quite easy, as they require very little upkeep. With proper care, our spring centerpieces should last approximately 3 weeks indoors. Upon arrival, add ½ cup of water to the center of the oasis foam by pouring it into the top of the centerpiece. To properly care for your product, add another ½ cup water and spritz every 2-3 days. This keeps it fresh and green. If your centerpiece has a candle, there will be a green plastic candle holder inserted in the center. For pillar candles, peel off the white square sticker on the candle holder and press the candle firmly into the holder. It is not necessary to use the sticker for LED candles. All greenery should be kept in a cool location, away from heat sources that may dry them out such as direct sunlight, heat vents, and open flames. Always keep them away from ignition sources. Keep candle flames at least 4” away from the greenery. Never leave lit candles unattended.

Our beautiful dried floral wreaths are all-natural and crafted by hand with real flowers, fruits, herbs, grasses, and other natural plants. All of the plant materials are grown, collected by hand, and naturally dried. A few of the plants are preserved in clear, natural glycerin so that they keep their beautiful shape and color. These include myrtle, spiral eucalyptus, silver dollar leaves and salal leaves.
Once the botanicals have dried, they are hand-assembled and made into the beautiful and unique designs we offer. A few wreath designs have materials that have been dyed with all-natural vegetable-sourced pigments to add a splash of beautiful color to the wreath. They are safe to touch and not harmful to the environment. Because every wreath is completely hand-crafted, no two are exactly alike.
This beautiful collection of floral wreaths is handmade exclusively for us by a wonderful, small family-owned business we have partnered with. They grow, harvest, and dry all of the botanicals for the floral wreaths and bouquets on their own farm and handcraft them into the elegant products we offer in a manner that matches our own commitment to sustainability and to making the highest quality products available.

Our wreaths are shipped in recyclable brown cardboard boxes that protect them in transit. Inside the box, each wreath is secured to the bottom of the box with two plastic zip-ties to prevent jostling and damage prior to delivery. When you receive your dried wreath, simply cut these plastic ties from the external base of the box. Wreaths are also wrapped in natural tissue paper for protection and for a beautiful presentation.

Each wreath is secured to the bottom of the box with two plastic zip-ties to prevent jostling and damage prior to delivery. When you receive your dried wreath, we recommend cutting the plastic ties from the external base of the cardboard box with sturdy scissors or clippers. Once you’ve cut the plastic ties, gently remove the wreath from the box. Your dried wreath is made with all-natural plant materials and should be handled with care. Some of the natural materials may shed in transit. This is normal, and we have already added additional stems and flowers to each wreath to compensate for any loss that may occur prior to delivery.

Our beautiful dried wreaths are all-natural and handmade with real plants and are designed for indoor use. It is important to hang or display your dried wreath indoors and away from direct sunlight, heat sources, and humidity. When handling them, do so with care to minimize breaking the dried stems.
It is easy to display your beautiful dried wreath inside your home. One of the easiest methods is by simply hanging your wreath from a nail or screw on a wall. You can also use a large utility hook such as a Command Hook/Strip to hang your wreath from almost any surface. Our wreaths can also be hung with ease with a wreath hanger on a door, or from a suction cup hanger on a window.

Our beautiful dried wreaths are all-natural and handmade with real plants. As a result, some materials may shed in transit. This is normal, and we have added additional stems and flowers to compensate for any loss that may occur prior to delivery. Since these dried wreaths are made from real botanicals, they have a mild and pleasant natural scent. Our wreaths are handcrafted from all-natural materials so slight variances in color and size will occur, making every wreath unique!
All of our dried wreaths are designed for indoor use. Hang or display them indoors away from direct sunlight, heat sources, and humidity. When handling them, do so with care to minimize breaking the dried stems. With proper care, your dried wreath will last several months or longer. When not being displayed, it is important to store your wreath in a cool, dry location away from heat and humidity. If your dried wreath needs to be dusted off, we suggest using a hairdryer on a low, no-heat setting and gently “drying” your wreath over a sink to blow off any dust.

Over the years, we've focused on offering the highest-quality fresh evergreen products available for the holidays. It's what we love to do and we will continute to offer them for years to come. It is important to us to meet all of our customers' gifting needs, and we realize there may be friends, family, or clients on your gift list that want something new or different. So, over the years we've added other beautiful gift options including Home Decor items and dried floral wreaths. Now, we are excited to also offer delicious, locally-sourced smoked salmon products as another wonderful gifting choice.
We are so fortunate to have access to an abundance of fresh evergreens here in the Pacific Northwest to make our wreaths, centerpieces, and garland. But we also to have access to a variety of fresh wild salmon. We've partnered with Seabear Smokehouse in Anacortes, Washington to offer you this amazing gifting option. Seabear smoked salmon is perfectly packaged for gift-giving and presents beautifully. Sharing smoked salmon has been a holiday tradition for years all across the country. It makes a perfect gift for the hard-to-buy-for folks on your list or someone that may not need an evergreen wreath or arrangement for the holidays. Along with our sustainably sourced evergreens, we think it makes the perfect made-in-Washington gift for anyone! -
All of the salmon we offer is prepared by our partners at SeaBear Smokehouse here in Washington state. They use only 100% wild salmon as they always have since 1957.
-
Wild Pacific salmon varieties vary in color, flavor, and texture. Our salmon offerings include Sockeye, King, Coho, and Pink. All are deliciously smoked with flavors that vary by variety.
Sockeye salmon is famous for its deep red color. The taste is wonderfully flavorful, rich, and robust. The meat has a medium flake and is very moist. We offer Sockeye salmon in the following products: Wild Alaskan Sockeye Smoked Salmon - 1 lb, in our Smoked Salmon Trio, and in our Party in a Box. Sockeye is Seabear Smokehouse's signature flavor, and we highly recommend it for it's distintive, rich flavor.
King salmon (also called Chinook salmon) is famously moist and succulent. It has an orange-reddish color and firm texture. The meat has large flakes and is mild in flavor. We offer King salmon as part of our Party in a Box.
Coho salmon (also called Silver salmon) has a wonderfully delicate flavor. Orange in color with a medium to large flake, it has a firm texture and is quite moist. Our Smoked Salmon Trio contains Coho salmon.
Pink salmon (sometimes referred to as Humpies) has a light color, tender texture, and small flake. It has a very light, delicate, tuna-like flavor. It is offered in our Smoked Salmon Trio and in our Party in a Box. -
The smoked salmon fillets we offer are precooked and sealed in gold foil pouches. The pouches are like a "flexible can. They are vacuum-sealed and cooked it in their own juices. This process preserves the Pacific Northwest smoked salmon naturally, so no refrigeration is required until the pouch is opened. As long as it is not opened, punctured, or leaking, it will stay good for at least four years, and even that is conservative. Your gold seal pouch will have a printed expiration date that says "Enjoy By MM/DD/YYYY" printed on the pouch. Even beyond four years, the product will likely be good to eat.
-
The gold seal pouch the smoked salmon comes packaged in is like a "flexible can". The salmon is vacuum-sealed inside the pouch and then cooked in its own juices. This process preserves the fish naturally and allows the pouch to be stored without refrigeration for at least 4 years, or more.
-
The soft, cream-colored substance attached to the fish or floating freely in the liquid of the pouch is a natural component of many canned or pouched seafoods referred to as “curd”. Curd is simply protein that comes from the fish as it is cooked. More specifically, it forms when water-soluble proteins are released from the cut surfaces of the fish, and are then “set” during the cooking process similar to the firming of egg whites when poached. The presence of curd is normal and it does not detract at all from the flavor or nutritiousness of pouched salmon.
-
SeaBear smokes the salmon, vacuum seals it inside the gold seal pouches, and then cooks the salmon in its own juices. This process preserves the salmon naturally, so no refrigeration is needed until the pouch is opened. Think of the gold seal pouch like a "flexible can".
-
There is no need to cook the salmon in the pouch - it is fully cooked. If you would like to warm the salmon you may do so by putting it the oven for 5-7 minutes, covered, at 275 degrees F. Please do not microwave the pouch.
-
If you experience a problem with your order or are not satisfied with a salmon product, please contact our Customer Support Team via email here, or by phone at 1-888-426-0781. We will work with you to resolve things promptly.

Aside from sourced products that specifically state that they are gluten-free, we cannot guarantee that our SeaBear-made products are gluten-free, as they are produced in a facility with products that contain gluten. Though we follow diligent sanitation and Good Manufacturing practices, we cannot guarantee that products without typical gluten-containing ingredients have not come into contact at some point with a gluten ingredient.
-
There are no preservatives added to the salmon products. There are no nitrates, no added oils, and there is no coloring added! The salmon is 100% natural.
-
We use 100% wild salmon and a touch of sea salt and sugar for a delicious Northwest style smoked salmon flavor. Our products are all natural.
-
The salmon product we offer are not certified organic, and we can't ever make that claim. The term "organic" means that the animal or plant was raised under organic standards in a (reasonably) controlled environment their entire life, free of pesticides, growth hormones, GMOs, etc. Wild salmon could never meet the controlled environment standard since it is wild-caught and grows in the wild.
-
Yes, the smoked salmon products we offer are kosher and are all certified by Square K Kosher.
The word kosher is a variation of the Hebrew word meaning "fit" or "proper." Simply put, kosher foods meet the dietary requirements and are prepared in accordance to the Jewish Law. The determination of kosher and non-kosher foods depends on two variables: the source of the ingredients and the status of the production equipment. Kosher certification, which is the guarantee that the food meets kosher requirements, revolves around both of the above criteria. The smoked salmon products we offer are kosher and are all certified by Square K Kosher.
-
Unlike farmed Atlantic salmon, wild salmon feed on a natural diet of marine life for naturally rich levels of Omega-3 and an unparalleled taste. We partner with Seabear Smokehouse who offers the best of the best, as less than 1% of wild salmon meets their specifications.
-
Salmon is not known as a high-risk fish for mercury. The risk of salmon with high-mercury content is usually from high-population and pollution in some lakes and rivers where the salmon begin their lives.
Our Seabear salmon products test at <5.67 mcg/serving. Usually with a result of "<", the indication is that the test is not able to detect levels lower than the level shown.
The rivers in Alaska where most of the fishing is done have very few people living near them - usually towns with populations of less than 5000. There is very little industry in the area and this makes the rivers an excellent environment for salmon to call home. -
Yes! The pouches for the smoked salmon products have an inner polypropylene layer that is food safe and ensures a strong seal. All pouches are approved by the FDA and are BPA-free.

Most of the boughs that make up our products are Highland Noble Fir gathered from the foothills of the Cascade and Olympic Mountains in Washington State. Noble fir boughs have an incredible blue appearance on the outer needles and are very attractive in Christmas wreaths. They are cut from 15 to 20 years old trees and can be harvested every two to three years without damaging the trees. This ensures that the trees will continue to grow for years to come. The Washington State Department of Natural Resources has been making an effort for many years to manage noble fir growing areas and improve this reusable resources program. We buy our boughs from a select number of lowland farmers that deliver fresh boughs to us daily throughout the holiday season.
All of our holiday fresh evergreen products are handmade from a varied combination of:- Noble Fir
- White Pine
- Incense Cedar
- Western Red Cedar
- Port Orford Cedar
- Douglas Fir
- Juniper
- Salal
- California Bay Leaf
- Southern Magnolia
- English Holly (green & variegated)

Lynch Creek Farm is a small, family-owned company that is fully dedicated to producing sustainable evergreen products that don’t damage the environment. We made an ethical decision to never cut down a single tree in our quest to provide the country with beautiful, fresh Christmas wreaths, centerpieces, and garland. We cultivate evergreen boughs by trimming the lower branches of younger coniferous trees in healthy and robustly forested areas, along the foothills of the Cascade and Olympic Mountains. As the tree grows, the boughs become larger, hence, harder to work with. Once a tree reaches the mature age of 15 to 20 years old, it is no longer trimmed for boughs. This practice prolongs the lifespan of the woodlands, ensuring they will continue to grow and thrive for decades to come.

Andy Hunter is the owner of Lynch Creek Farm along with his wife Tracey Hunter. It all started when Andy’s folks bought 10 acres of land in 1974 on Lynch Road the year he was born! They built a house right away and soon after started growing vegetables on the land, initially to feed the family but soon it seemed they were feeding a small village. As his folks got serious about farming in 1980, they started going to the local Shelton Farmers’ Market and soon needed a name to better sell their veggies. Their last name is Hunter and "Hunter Farms" would have been the most obvious name, but in their small town there is another Hunter family who had been well established for years running a huge pumpkin patch and other business ventures. So at that point, they had to pick another name. Lynch Road was the local road the Farm was on, and it was also the road Andy’s mother was born and raised on and, in fact, still lives on today. His grandparents and many other relatives lived on Lynch Rd at that time back in 1980. There is also a beautiful, wooded stream called Lynch Creek that ran through the back of the family property. As kids, Andy and his two brothers spent countless days playing in and along the creek. So, when their family business needed a name, Lynch Creek Farm was born :) As a side note, Andy’s brother and his family live on the original Lynch Creek Farm property today, and Andy, his wife, and their two daughters live across the street on Lynch Road.
The history of the name “Lynch” dates back many years before the turn of the century. A settler to the area named Jeremiah Lynch and his wife settled on a large plot of land on Lynch Rd and Lynch Creek, likely including the family farm. Jeremiah eventually sold the property to his niece, Marguerite, and her husband who continued to farm shellfish into the 1900s. They never had children and were very close friends to Andy’s grandparents who also lived on Lynch Road…..back then, the road was still just a dirt road. Sometime after WWII, Marguerite and her husband were selling the property and all but begged Andy’s grandparents to buy it from them. History would be a little different if this would have happened, as Andy might be selling clams and oysters today instead of evergreen wreaths! The property was eventually purchased by relatives of Marguerite named the Bishops, and they continue in the shellfish business to this day.
Here is more information from a South Sound Business news article about Little Skookum Shellfish Growers and their harvesting history:
In 1849, Jeremiah Lynch left his home in County Cork, Ireland to seek his fortune in the California gold rush. Luckily, gold eluded him, and by 1883, he had found his way north to the Washington Territory, to what is now the town of Shelton. There he built his home on the shores of Little Skookum Inlet, a small inlet at the south end of Puget Sound. He quickly discovered the beautiful oyster beds on the tide flats of his homestead, and began his practice of sharing his bounty with family, friends, and neighbors. This soon grew into the family business, now known as Little Skookum Shellfish Growers. Today’s owners, Lisa and Brett Bishop are the fifth generation of Jeremiah Lynch’s family to dedicate themselves to the legacy which began over 125 years ago. They, with their sons, Jeremiah and Justin, plan to continue farming the tidelands just as it has been.
We hope this information is helpful, and we truly appreciate telling the Hunter family story. Andy and his wife purchased a house and old dairy barn on the other side of the road from the original farm on Lynch Rd and live very close to the original homestead of Jeremiah Lynch. Andy's brother lives in the original Lynch Creek Farmhouse across the street, while his Aunt and Uncle live beside them.
