Plant trees to mark the Blue Moon on May 31st, 2026 and turn a rare celestial event into something rooted on Earth. A way to celebrate the night sky while giving back to the planet beneath it.
They may not be trees but I am so proud of our potato plants this year! We try to grow some food for ourselves every year to reduce our carbon footprint and work to follow the reduce, reuse, then recycle mindset! Every tiny change in behavior helps and I can’t wait to dig up these tasty potatoes to feed my family! 🌱🥔💚 Happy Blue Flower Moon, friends!
Tonight, May 30-31, brings a Blue Moon 🌕 It's the second full moon of May 2026 — the most common modern definition of a Blue Moon. This one is also a 'micromoon,' meaning the moon is at its farthest point from Earth, appearing about 7% smaller than an average full moon and 14% smaller than a supermoon. Calendar-month Blue Moons happen roughly seven times every 19 years — which is where the expression 'once in a blue moon' comes from, even if it's a bit more frequent than the phrase suggests.
