May Day Flower Basket Workshop, Sunday April 27

Celebrate spring and the tradition of May Day baskets with a creative twist! Dating back centuries, May Day has long been associated with festivals that welcome the arrival of spring, including ancient Roman celebrations of Flora, the goddess of flowers, and the Celtic festival of Beltane. In medieval Europe, people would gather fresh flowers and greenery to celebrate renewal and fertility, often leaving small bouquets or garlands at neighbors’ doors as a gesture of goodwill. By the 19th and early 20th centuries, this evolved into the tradition of crafting and gifting May Day baskets—small handmade containers filled with flowers, secretly left on the doorsteps of friends, family, or loved ones.

In this hands-on workshop, you’ll create your own paper cone basket using beautifully designed paper, then fill it with a fresh selection of seasonal flowers and greenery. Whether you plan to carry on the tradition by gifting your basket or keep it as a cheerful decoration, this workshop is the perfect way to welcome the season with flowers and creativity.

What’s included:

- Decorative paper to craft your cone basket
- A selection of fresh, seasonal flowers and greenery
- Ribbons and embellishments for a personalized touch
- Step-by-step guidance on assembly and floral arranging

No experience is needed—just bring your love of flowers and festive fun!
