Juurtamisel
Juurtamisel is a traditional Estonian folk custom practiced during the spring season. It primarily involves the planting of young trees, bushes, or other perennial plants. The act of juurtamisel is not merely about horticulture; it is deeply rooted in symbolic meaning and community involvement. Historically, it was believed that the successful establishment of new plants would ensure a prosperous year for the household and the wider community, symbolizing growth, renewal, and the continuation of life.
The timing of juurtamisel is significant, often coinciding with the spring equinox or other auspicious days
