GEZEGENDE BOEKETTEN OP
SINT-JANSDAG EN MARIA HEMELVAART

I designed a folder for Isabela Pombo Geertsma, based on research she conducted together with four other researchers.


The folder describes a 2023 study on the Kroedwusj and Sint Janstros traditions in Limburg and North Brabant. The research repeats a 1930s study by Dr. Hendrik Uittien, who documented the plant species in these blessed bouquets. The team visited villages, joined plant-picking walks, interviewed people, and photographed thousands of bouquets.

We chose this color theme because blue symbolizes Mary, and yellow represents the sun and Sint Janstros , and thus Sint Jan. The first page of this folder unfolds into a poster, which makes it related of a bouquet or a flower unfolding.
