Trees of the Solstices & Other Earth Celebrations
with Amy Witt
October 29th, 2024
Did you know that Elder (Sambucus) is one of the trees of Samhain, the Celtic festival celebrating the harvest and the beginning of Winter? Samhain is a time of death and rebirth. Elder is the perfect tree to invite in for this festival because it is a tree of endings and beginnings. Meet the trees and plants associated with the eight Celtic festivals that celebrate and honor the Earth's seasons, including the summer and winter solstices. Celebrating the seasons helps you reconnect to the Earth and Nature. Inviting and spending time with the plants for each festival helps deepen your connection. Amy Melissa Witt is a Naturalist, Horticulturist, Educator, and Director of Earth Walkers (www.earthwalkers.me). She offers a variety of nature-based programs, garden consultations, and leads people on journeys to invigorate their hearts and fully experience Nature in more spiritual ways.
