What is Strawberry Moon?

The full moon that falls in June is most commonly known as the ‘Strawberry Moon’- a name that originates with Native Americans. It is neither pink nor looks like a strawberry. The name is given because June is traditionally a time when the wild strawberries are ready for the harvest in North America.

June’s full moon was named ‘Strawberry Moon’ by various indigenous people to mark the ripening of the wild strawberries.
