Día de los Muertos is celebrated throughout Latin America,
but is more closely associated with Mexico, where it originated.
A joyous remembrance of the lives of family members & loved ones
who have died, the holiday is a celebration of the cycle of life.
Traditionally, it is said the souls of the dead return to visit the living
for a few brief hours during the celebrations.

In Mexico, Día de los Muertos is marked by festive celebrations to honor
the deceased. Cemeteries are cleaned & decorated, special food
& candies made & home altars are designed with offerings (ofrendas)
to the dead of the things they enjoyed most in life, including food, drink
& music.

to germinate & establish populations throughout the ecosystem. Near structures & in more disturbed areas, rare and unique California native
plants will be planted to highlight sustainable, habitat-focused & ecologically conscious garden practices.
