June

The start of the summer! So busy in the garden this month… so here are just a few short facts……

June is long, warm summer days, the sun directly overhead at its Zenith on the summer solstice, ie. the longest day. A month for festivals, open-gardens, parties, festivals, Wimbledon, cricket, Glastonbury, The Derby, Royal Ascot, BBQ's, the seaside, and the village fete… (but not our Society’s Show, that’s September 6th!)

Birthstones and Birth Flowers: pearls, moonstones, and alexandrites as birthstones, and roses and honeysuckle as birth flowers. 

Named after Juno: The month is named after the Roman goddess Juno, associated with marriage, childbirth, and the well-being of women. 

JUNE spans the zodiac signs of Gemini and Cancer. 

Fun Fact- more Nobel Prize winners are born in June than in any other month.
