"When you enter the land and plant…"

(Leviticus 19:23)

"In the land of Israel the New Year of Trees coincides with the end of winter rains and the beginning of the lush green growth of spring. Almond trees blossom, gardens are transformed into playful places, and a joyful procession of planters goes out to renew the Land singing with enthusiasm, 'Thus march the planters, with a song at heart and a shovel in hand, from the city and from the village on Tu B'shvat.'"
