Blackwing Graphite Pencil Volume 17 - Special Edition

Gardens have long been a place for meditative contemplation. They provide us with an escape from a world that constantly demands our attention.

Gardening has been proven to uplift spirits and lower stress and anxiety. It provides us with an opportunity for new growth, a meaningful routine, and a template for nurturing other aspects of our lives. Just as there are 17 essential nutrients for healthy plant growth, there are many essential “nutrients” for a fulfilling life. Keeping a garden allows us to tend to ourselves with love, happiness and purpose.

Blackwing 17 examines the mindful practice of gardening. Each pencil features an earth-toned color palette: olive green finish, dark brown ferrule and imprint, and burgundy eraser. Each pencil also sports their balanced graphite (as in Blackwing Pearl) and a 10cm ruler stamped into its barrel you can use to chart the growth of seedlings in your plant log.
