What is in a traditional May Day basket?

Traditionally, May Day baskets were filled with fresh flowers, greenery, and sometimes small homemade treats like popcorn, candy, or baked goods. The idea was to create a simple, thoughtful gift that celebrated the arrival of spring.

What flowers are good for May Day baskets?

Lightweight blooms work best for May Day baskets. Flowers like tulips, peonies, daffodils, daisies, ranunculus, pansies, mini carnations, baby's breath, or wildflowers are perfect choices. You want something that’s small enough to fit nicely into the cone and light enough so it won’t weigh down the paper.
