Celebrate our local pollinators with Mindy as she makes paper from recycled materials and wildflower seeds.


Tuesday, June 20th at 11am. Ages 3+

Cider Hill Farm, 45 Fern Ave, Amesbury, MA 01913


$5 per child / $10 family*

(*Please note participant names at purchase.)


Event will be at the tented area in the Upper Courtyard at the front of the Farm store.


Visit Cider Hill Farm and create “plantable” recycled paper! The paper is made by blending old newsprint and junk mail to create new paper pulp. Participants add a native seed mix that gets pressed into paper shapes. The paper can be used for notes or gift tags, and it can be planted so the embedded seeds can grow and support local pollinators.


Bring your own paper to add to the mix! Please no newsprint, stickers, staples, cardboard, or glossy/coated paper.

Celebrate & support local pollinators with Mindy!
