June’s full Strawberry Moon occurs on Monday, June 29, peaking at 7:56 P.M. (EDT). This month marks the height of summer in the northern hemisphere, with longer days and pleasant evenings. Interestingly, June was once the fourth month; it became the sixth month in 46 BC when Julius Caesar introduced the Julian calendar.
Traditions in May include Maypole dances, May baskets, and flower celebrations. The full moon in May is often referred to as the Flower Moon, symbolizing the blooming of spring flowers. Additionally, various Native American tribes have their own unique names for the full moon in May, such as the Frog Moon.
April is known for its beautiful spring weather and the onset of warmer temperatures, coinciding with the time when the Easter Bunny makes its appearance. The word “April” is derived from the Latin verb “aperire,” which means “to open.” It is commonly believed that this refers to the season when trees and flowers begin to “open” or bloom. April had only 29 days, but a 30th day was added when Julius Caesar established the Julian calendar.

Groundhog Day is a whimsical tradition that marks the midpoint between winter and spring. The groundhog saw his shadow, which means we can expect six more weeks of winter. As we approach this time, it’s also a good idea to think about landscaping. If you prefer to handle your own pruning, we offer a LANDSCAPE OPT OUT FORM on our website. This month’s newsletter will include an explanation of Opt Out Pruning.
Garron Grounds has reached out to let us know that they will commence their fertilization and moss control services this week. Their team will be implementing tailored treatments to enhance the health of our lawns while effectively managing any moss growth.
