What’s in Bloom: Discover Palestine’s Stunning Wildflowers with Our New Pocket Guide

At Handmade Palestine, our mission goes beyond craft. We’re here to support and sustain local artisans while actively contributing to Palestinian nature conservation — especially through our work at Mashjar Juthour, our conservation site nestled in the hills above Ramallah. This land, so often seen through the lens of hardship, is also a place of astonishing beauty — where ancient olive trees sway over hillsides and wildflowers quietly bloom in vibrant defiance.

It’s spring in Palestine, and that means the hills, valleys, and forests are bursting with color. While many outside the region might think only of deserts or conflict, those who walk our trails know that Palestine is home to a delicate, diverse, and often-overlooked range of native wildflowers. Most are small — many you might miss if you’re not looking — but each is a masterpiece.

To celebrate this incredible biodiversity, we’re thrilled to share something very close to our hearts: the Wildflowers of Palestine Pocket Guide — available now in the U.S. for the very first time. We also have a free download of the guide here.

Whether you're a nature lover, a botanist at heart, or someone looking to connect more deeply with this land, this guide is a beautiful and practical way to explore the wild flora of Palestine. Compact, illustrated, and easy to carry, it’s perfect for hikes, educational walks, or even just admiring from your windowsill.

Here are just a few of the native wildflowers you’ll find in the guide:

And while you're discovering the blooms, why not send a little love? Our Wildflower Greeting Cards feature illustrations of these beautiful native plants and come in a variety of colors. They're a sweet, sustainable way to celebrate Palestine’s wildlife — and every card supports local artisans and conservation work.
