LH 169: Easy Ideas for All-Natural Gifts From Your Garden
There’s something special about a homemade gift. But it becomes even more special when it includes a little piece of your garden as well.
It can be as simple as a dried flower or an herbal sprig. But that added touch means that you are sharing something that you nurtured with your own hands. And THAT can't be found in a store.
In today’s episode, host Theresa Loe brought back garden author, Stephanie Rose, to share her tips and insights into making extraordinary crafts that can be shared as gifts. And she has graciously included a recipe for Tub Tea that you can print out and make this holiday season…or any time of the year. Just got to our show notes at: www.LivingHomegrown.com/169 to print the recipe/instructions.
You will learn: Why botanical gifts can be the best gifts of all What type of equipment is needed when crafting at home Why we should avoid chemicals on our skin The difference between essential oils and fragrance oils What a lotion bar is and how they are made What are bath melts The joys of Tub Tea Tips for gift wrapping the things you make How long homemade body products last And SO much more...As always, you can get more links and resources at www.LivingHomegrown.com/169 as well as a full transcript of the show.
