Nurture

Nurture, tree of life planter clay sculpture by Amelia Carrie

Even the oldest, most weathered trunk still finds strength when others gather around it.

This Tree of Life sculpture was created to show how roots — and people — intertwine to lift and support one another through life’s seasons. When I added a living plant, something unexpected happened. The sculpture came alive in a completely new way.

I entered this piece in a garden show and it stopped people in their tracks.
The living plant and the clay figures became one story — ancient strength meeting new growth.

Hand sculpted original — one of a kind.

This tree of life sculpture doubles as a living planter, and adding a real plant makes it feel even more alive. The figures wrap around the weathered trunk to support one another while fresh green growth rises from the center, a beautiful picture of family, friendship and caring for each other. It is perfect for a sunny windowsill or bright corner, and makes a wonderful gift for gardeners, plant lovers, mothers and grandmothers. Hand sculpted from a single block of clay through my Intuitive Expressionism process, it is a one of a kind original that feels fresh again with every new plant.
