Growing Information
Folklore
Hawthorn has long been regarded as a sacred tree in Britain and Ireland, a guardian of thresholds and a protector of the home. It is said to mark the meeting place of the human and faery realms and lone hawthorns growing in the landscape were once left undisturbed for fear of offending the spirits. Associated with May Day festivities and the blossoming of spring, Hawthorn symbolises love, renewal and the bittersweet beauty of the heart.
