Folklore Gardens

Curated seed collections for ritual, story, and seasonal growing.

Thorn & Fable creates themed seed and plant collections with story cards, planting guides, ritual suggestions, folklore notes, and botanical symbolism. Each collection is designed to feel like a small heirloom object: practical enough to grow, beautiful enough to gift, and rich enough to return to through the seasons.
