In Haiti, Agriculture and Labor Day takes place every May 1. It’s a day to celebrate and be thankful for everything farmers do to keep fresh food available. It’s sometimes difficult to remember how fortunate we are to have access to crops, and we feel disconnected from the roots of our food when we see it all packaged up in supermarkets. On Labour and Agriculture Day, we take the time to thank the farmers who feed us.
Therapeutic Massage Awareness Day
Therapeutic Massage Awareness Day is celebrated yearly on May 1. We know life can become very stressful, and we all need a way to relieve stress. There’s no better day than Therapeutic Massage Awareness Day to take advantage of the many benefits these massages provide. Whether you’ve never experienced one before or get one regularly, consider massages a necessary element of your self-care routine rather than a luxury that you can’t afford to give yourself. Take advantage of the day and relax under the gentle hands of a masseuse.
International Sunflower Guerilla Gardening Day
On International Sunflower Guerilla Gardening Day, celebrated on May 1, add a splash of color to your neighborhood by sowing sunflower seeds. Participants are invited to grow sunflowers around their localities on International Sunflower Guerrilla Gardening Day. People from places where it gets too cold for sunflowers to thrive may plant alternative seasonally-appropriate plants. Gardening on territory over which the gardeners have no legal rights is referred to as “guerrilla gardening.” Guerrilla gardeners have a variety of objectives, but the majority of the time they plant on abandoned or neglected property to make it more visually appealing in an environmentally friendly way.
