Easter, for some, is a Christian religious holiday; but many Easter traditions also reflect pagan Spring rites. For gardeners in the northern hemisphere, Easter ushers in spring: longer days, the return of perennials, blossoms, leaves, and all the glories of the growing season.
This Easter weekend, you might enjoy these links to my articles relating Easter and the garden.

Happy Easter! Happy Spring!
