It is celebrated in the green lungs of the city

The feast of the tree to teach solidarity and love for nature. Perhaps one of the few holidays that has no religious or patriotic streak. But only an examination of conscience and passion.
The tree festival is an event that unites Italy and the world at different times of the year based on the most suitable time for sowing.
In Italy, the ideal period falls at the end of November, but the event has been so successful that it has added several dates throughout the year. The intent is to bring man and the environment closer, but above all to see happy children in the serenity of nature.
We join in a goal: to dedicate a day to mother earth, the only source of survival, to thank her for what she offers us. It is also given some seeds so that it can still grow green.

Arbor Day: the origin of the party

The initiative is very old. The feast of the tree was born in the late 1800s as "Arbor day", and then became an annual ritual.
These dates vary according to the nations and their location. We take the opportunity to bring children closer to the environment, leave them the memory of a day in the green lung of the city, teach them to sow, to love plants and flowers.
It gives the opportunity to sensitize children to respect for the environment. In this way, even the little ones are made responsible by making them grow in a healthy and peaceful way. Thus they detach themselves from what are now the habits of children who have a very limited relationship with nature.
With the feast of the tree we want to remind the little ones that not everything is due. The mother earth plays a fundamental and primary role for personal well-being. These ideals seem to take second place when one lives in polluted cities without the reference of a green lung.

Where you can meet nature

A moment to not feel uncomfortable in the open which too often is mistreated and above all ignored. A moment to remind us that it exists, because yes, those who live in cities have rare opportunities to experience nature. He needs to remember his mother who has been feeding and caring for him since the dawn of time.
The tree festival can be held wherever there is a green area, whether it is a botanical garden in the city center, a wood.
The Italian associations are prepared for holidays between families and friends to allow these days of serenity. Breathe clean air, learn how much nature has to offer.
However, it would be good to remember to take care of the environment every day and teach us to have an inherent respect so as to feel at one with the world.
