Past Events |
Celebrate spring by visiting Fresh Heirlooms and 22 other participating shops, galleries, and coffee shops along Butler St., 43rd, 44th, Hatfield, and 50th Streets to collect flower and herb seeds (while supplies last). On Saturday, we invite visitors to make seed paper from scrap-paper pulp! Make a note card, book mark, or gift tag that can be used and later planted in soil to grow a beautiful patch of wild flowers.
