The olive tree has been around to witness monumental moments throughout history. Ancient Egyptians offered their leaves to the gods as symbols of benediction and purification, victors were crowned with their branches at the Olympic Games in early Greece and its sacred oil was used to anoint the kings of old. It was further immortalized through mythology, as this famous tree was the gift Athena bestowed upon the people of Attica in order to gain the patronage of Athens. And, now, you can embellish your home, grow olives and spark conversations with guests with your very own organic olive tree. Not good with greenery? The iconic Tree of Life wall hanging requires no special care. (Available at sponsor VivaTerra for $95.)
