Make a May Day Basket

Join Karen Bell of "Something Extra Flowers" as she guides participants in the sweet and nostalgic tradition of creating May Day Baskets at the TOHP Burnham Library in Essex Massachusetts

The TOHP Burnham Public Library invites children, ages 5 and older, to join Karen Bell of "Something Extra Flowers" as she guides participants in the sweet and nostalgic tradition of creating May Day Baskets. Our baskets will actually be mini Mason jars full of fresh flowers and once finished, children & their adults will walk as a group to Chebacco Terrace to secretly drop off their "baskets" to local senior citizens by dropping them at their doorstep-just as children would have done 100 years ago!
