Fostering Community Joy with May Day Posies
Fostering Community Joy with May Day Posies

I long to see a renaissance of deeply meaningful traditions that encourage human connection, like the nature-rooted festivals of the Wheel of the Year. As a gardener and forager, I find the celebrations that invoke connection to self, community and nature to be much more rewarding than those centered around commerce. This Beltane I’ll foster community connection through hosting a bonfire and surprise-gifting May Day posies to friends and family. I want to capture the whimsy, magic, and community joy of May Day, so I crafted these beribboned paper cones to hold flowers. On the eve of Beltane I’ll surprise-gift these to neighbors, family, and friends by hanging them on them on doorknobs.

Naturally Dyed Easter Eggs
Naturally Dyed Easter Eggs

While I’m sequestered at home during this pandemic I’m on a mission to occupy my time with any seasonal nature-based craft that I can. I love crafting with plants and finding new ways to use up old kitchen scraps to minimize my food waste. Because of our economic circumstances, I’ve been inclined to be a bit more thrifty - to use every last lit bit and use what resources I already have wisely, instead of going out and spending money on non-essentials. Since Easter is right around the corner, I decided to dye easter eggs using only a few natural and readily available ingredients from my kitchen. This seasonal craft is insanely easy to do, and the color possibilities are so limitless that it’s the perfect nature craft for both adults and kids.
