Ridgewood NJ, June 20th is the Summer Solstice The summer solstice, also known as festival solstice or midsummer, occurs when one of the Earth’s poles has its maximum tilt toward the Sun. It happens twice yearly, once in each hemisphere.

At the summer solstice, the Sun travels the longest path through the sky, and that day therefore has the most daylight. When the summer solstice happens in the Northern Hemisphere, the North Pole is tilted about 23.4° (23°27´) toward the Sun.

Why not celebrate this weekend with a summer solstice gardening party. You can welcome the first day of summer with your family and friends while sharing the joy of gardening with them.People have been celebrating the summer solstice for centuries, with elaborate festivals that honor nature. So, why not continue this tradition in your way with a gardening party? A gardening party is a festive event in which people can eat great food, socialize with loved ones, and connect to nature by planting flowers, fruits, or vegetables. It’s an informal, entertaining, and educational way of saluting the summer season.
