We, at The Light Project, have dedicated 2024 as "Year of the Zinnia" – a celebration of beauty, femininity, and generosity!
The seed for this idea was planted when we were gifted with two small jars of bright zinnias from a recent guest, Mrs. Robin Hebert on our podcast, Can I Getta Amen.
Upon a quick internet check, here is what we discovered: While these flowers can have different meanings in different cultures, they are a symbol of love and friendship, endurance, daily remembrance, goodness, and a zest for life. They are commonly associated with spiritual growth, transformation, and wisdom. Zinnias are the hardest working flower in the summer garden.
Zinnias are one tough bloom.
If you are planting Zinnias with us this year, tune in to our Sow & Grow Gardening Tips by All Seasons Nursery.
