  • The Origins of Christmas Trees: Myths, Folklore & History
    Dec 18 2024

    In the chilly winter of 1604, in the charming Alsatian town of Strasbourg, snow covers the rooftops, and candlelight flickers through frosted windows. Inside a home, a fir tree stands tall, decorated with paper roses, apples, and sweetmeats. This is the earliest recorded mention of the Christmas tree—a tradition that would grow to become a universal symbol of Christmas joy.

  • Greens of Glory: Plants and the Olympic Legacy
    Aug 9 2024

    Long ago, even before shiny medals became the symbol of victory, plants held the highest honour in the Olympic Games.

    Twenty-eight centuries ago, the Greeks chose plants to represent the awards given to the champions, adorning their heads with wreaths made of sacred olive leaves.

    This ancient practice, which combines the world of plants with athletic excellence, has stood the test of time.

    Nowadays, although modern Olympians are awarded gold, silver, and bronze medals, the tradition continues in the form of beautiful bouquets that accompany these medals, serving as a reminder of the Games' roots in nature.
