We have had a very busy month as May is the time of the year we start looking forward to Ashtead Village Day and selling our wares to raise funds for next year.
We planted up many a basket full of flowers, strawberries, and new for this year, herb hanging baskets. We also had pretty pots and homemade willow hearts to make.

Blooming paper

We tried, with some success, to make blooming paper today.
Using recycled newspaper we blended it with some water in a bucket and placed a grid in the mush to catch the paper fibres. We then sprinkled cress seeds and dried flower petals on top.
We then used some heavy pieces of wood to sandwich the grid and squeeze out as much water as we could. the kids loved stamping all over the sleepers!
As it was a beautiful sunny day the paper dried out quite quickly. It makes some wonderful note paper.
Now if we put the paper in a dish of water the cress seeds will grow! Clever!
