It was inevitable that individuals, descendants perhaps of Witchcraft Trials victims, would leave bundles of flowers at the Proctor’s Ledge Witchcraft Trials Memorial on Gallows Hill. The real question is why it took several weeks after the dedication for this practice to begin.
The flowers are allowed to remain for several days, after which they are given to the City of Salem composting program. “All go unto one place; all are of the dust, and all turn to dust again.” Ecclesiastes 3:20.
