Thursday, April 20, 2023, marks the beginning of May’s full moon lunar cycle, the Flower Moon, which reaches its peak on Friday, May 5, 2023. It was named by the Ojibwe tribes of the Great Lakes for its timing, rising when flowers are beginning to bloom and blossom across the Northern Hemisphere. The Flower Moon is considered a sign of health and rejuvenation because many medicinal herbs grow during this time too.
I created The Meaningful Mother’s Day Planter and accompanying tutorial as a tribute to all those who fill a motherhood role as well as to you, who feel called to give something meaningful to a mother or mother figure. As the creator of this planter, you will customize it to create a seasonal gift, inspired by the mother or mother figure in your life, that is overflowing with sentiment and usefulness.
Wittingly named by my Jeopardy-loving husband after the category “Potent Potables” on the show, this pot is the perfect hostess gift! A classic planter is filled with starter herbs that can be used to infuse, muddle, shake and garnish your favorite cocktails, lemonades, and other botanical drinks.
In my garden, I snip with abandon. And when my friends visit, I encourage them to do the same. It is a cutting garden, after all. Everything is grown to be anticipated, admired, photographed, harvested and appreciated elsewhere. To be given a job far more important than adorning my garden; to adorn my home or the home of someone I care about. With this in mind, I recently compiled an at-a-glance list of the vase life ranges for all the botanicals I grow specifically for use in floral arrangements and bouquets.
Did you know that narcissus and hyacinths have a sap that is toxic to other flowers? If added to an arrangement, the sap will kill all other plants they share water with. So how do I create that quintessential spring arrangement?
There’s nothing like the fragrant aroma of your own handmade herbal wreath to great you at your front door everyday. The style wreath I made is simple yet beautiful and can be hung inside your home or outdoors.
