🎂 John/Sean Birthday Celebrations & Birthday Wishes! 🥳

Strawberry Fields Dedication Ceremony
Yoko invited me to the Strawberry Fields dedication ceremony on John's birthday in 1985.


The Mayor of Strawberry Fields:
According to The Mayor, Ono has visited a dozen times or so during his 15-year time in office, most recently three weeks ago when the two exchanged silent peace signs. "She comes down no matter what the weather is and sometimes hangs out," he says. "She comes over and hugs the tree that's to the right of me. She just hugs it. I don't ask. She has her reasons, and I respect her reasons."

Yoko invited all countries to send seeds from their indigenous trees to plant in Strawberry Fields. The most beautiful sight is on a day in mid-November each year, when the mosaic is entirely covered by the yellow leaves of the ginkgo tree (from Yoko’s native Japan), which drops its leaves all at once. - Madeline Bocaro
