JUNE 3-7 // NATIONAL GARDENING WEEK
National Gardening Week is celebrated on the first full week in June. This is a great week to jot a note to your favorite horticulturalist or encourage someone to try it out! I would add a little seed packet for a fun touch.

JUNE 7 // NATIONAL DOUGHNUT DAY
Celebrated on the first Friday in June, “National Doughnut Day was established in 1938 by the Chicago Salvation Army to raise much-needed funds during the Great Depression, and to honor the work of World War I Salvation Army volunteers who prepared doughnuts and other foods for thousands of soldiers.” (source) This is a great day to celebrate a delicious sweet treat and thank those who serve others. Maybe you could deliver a box of Krispie Kremes to nurses at the hospital too?

JUNE 26 // FORGIVENESS DAY
I had never heard of Forgiveness Day before, but I love the idea. Did you mess up? Send a card to make amends or set things right. Has someone hurt you? Work through those feelings of forgiveness in a journal or a card that you never send. Use this day as an opportunity to shrug off the heavy load of hurt feelings.
