 GODDESS OF FRUITS
Pomona is the Roman goddess of fruit trees, garden and orchards. According to ancient Roman mythology, Pomona watches over and protects fruit trees. Her name comes from the Latin word pomum, ‘fruit’. “Pomme” in French means apple. Her sacred tool is a pruning knife. In artistic depictions like paintings or statues, she is generally shown or painted with a platter of fruits.
