What Members Are Saying

  • “Trillium Press is the most special thing to grace 😉 my mailbox all year! It feels like taking a step back in time before computers were a thing and months and years moved more slowly. I love the combination of facts and personal storytelling! Such a nice way to take a pause and connect with seasonal and outdoor happenings. Also, the drawings are beautiful! 10/10!”

  • “The Trillium Press provides a beautiful monthly window into the seasonal unfolding of the flora and fauna discovered and rediscovered by Grace. Her poetic words dance on the page and into my real life landscape, giving me pause and grounding me in the seasonal subtleties. I love her detailed illustrations of flowers that somehow seem alive and full of character. Grace captures what my heart feels when I am surrounded by the wonder of springtime. I look forward to receiving The Trillium Press each month in my mailbox ! “

  • “The Wild Trillium Press is a new creative endeavor from the clever, witty, and talented Gunk in the Woods. I look forward to and treasure each Trillium mailer and this glorious human who stated she has a “deep affection for the natural world and a steady habit of observing it closely.”  I’ve been a member since the first edition (I even received an official membership card! Member no. 003). Each mailer is loaded with beautifully packaged whimsical extras created exclusively from the brilliant mind and hands of Gunk, inviting the reader to be curious and view their surroundings with greater intent.  Quiet observations of our natural world by someone who is wild by nature.  Pause and begin your journey through the natural world, one season at a time, with Gunk, who said, “There is so much life surrounding us at all times, if only we slow ourselves enough to notice it, imagine the world we might live in.”

Frequently Asked Questions

  • The Wild Trillium Press is a monthly correspondence celebrating the natural world, the changing seasons, and the magic tucked into everyday life. Each edition is a collection of nature journal drawings, field notes, botanical curiosities, personal musings, and other paper treasures inspired by my observations of the wild American Midwest. Think of it as a letter from a friend who can't stop talking about plants and the magic of nature, delivered right to your mailbox.

  • Each month's correspondence includes a three-page spread of nature journal illustrations and short articles, a personal letter, and musings on the plants, wildlife, and seasonal happenings that have caught my attention. You may also find little paper treasures and occasional surprises tucked inside. Every edition is unique and guided by the wonders of the season.

  • The Wild Trillium Press is a monthly mail club, with a new edition prepared for readers each month.

  • Not at all! Though my observations are rooted in the American Midwest, I believe the wonder of the natural world belongs to everyone. Whether you're familiar with the plants and creatures I write about or discovering them for the first time, I hope each edition inspires you to look a little closer at the living world wherever you call home.

  • I'm Grace (Gunk), an artist, nature enthusiast, and devoted observer of Mother Nature. Through drawing, gardening, field trips, and keeping a nature journal, I spend my days learning about the world outside my doorstep. The Wild Trillium Press grew from a desire to share these discoveries in a more tangible, thoughtful way than just via the interwebs
