Remember Mom or Grandma with a beautiful gift from Hanson Galleries.
We're brimming with new gift ideas. Many items are priced under $50. And don't forget our great handcrafted cards for all those May events.
One such gift idea is the bronze jewelry by Michael Michaud. He has trumped his outstanding designs with the Survivor Tree grouping commemorating the 9/11 tragedy. This pear tree was originally planted at the trade center complex in the 1970's. It was discovered in the rubble weeks after the 9/11 attacks and taken to the Arthur Ross Nursery in The Bronx and nursed back to health.
It has now been replanted at the site and is a symbol of resilience!
Michael has created a beautiful tribute to this Survivor Tree! Click here to see all the styles in stock and Michael cutting a branch for his designs.
