As Easter approaches, the characteristic symbol of the Easter Lily begins to grace our shops and homes. We have long associated this plant with spring and the Easter season. Lilium longiflorum, the Latin name for the Easter lily, is native to the Ryukyu Islands of southern Japan. The Easter lily is an icon of purity and grace throughout the ages, symbolizing joy, hope and life.

It is a part of social interactions, of interior design and is important in relationships and for enhancing the overall quality of our lives. Working with flowers is fun but also brings a dimension to our lives that is purely pleasing. Having a bad day – then make a bouquet.

Like plants – soil is essential to life as we know it. Soil protects the roots of plants, animals and microbes from freezing to death in the winter months. As the air above the soil cools to 0 C, water that is contained in the topmost levels of the soil will also freeze. This is commonly known as the frost layer and sometimes that layer can be several feet deep, depending on many factors which influence this layer. If we get an early snowfall, it serves as a blanket that will insulate the soil.
