Tree of Love

Dance Lime Tree is a guiding light poetic with the motto “Love, Fidelity and Justice”. It enable people from different generation to gather in and beneath their branches. These trees, whose large heart-shaped leaves are a magnificent symbol in themselves, can live up to one thousand years.
The lime tree is also associated with Freya, the Scandinavian goddess of love, and with Frigga, the goddess of medicine, who protects marriage and binds faithful lovers together.

This tree, whose bark was used to weave textiles and make ropes, is by extension a “Tree of Ties That Bind”, linking together communities and individuals.
