Hey Plant Friends and Family!

IDK about you, but I’ve grown so many herbs, keeping them fresh is often a challenge. Luckily, there are ways to preserve them while still getting their full benefits and drying them is my fave!

Dried herbs are the next best thing to fresh herbs and it’s extremely easy to do! Drying helps retain the essential oils giving you more flavor and a wonderful aroma!

Most of our herbs are air dried, but there are certain herbs that hold more moisture in their leaves and are best dried in a dehydrator.

Our Dried Herb Sale is still going! Head to our Facebook Shop to get yours today! 🌿🪴

Hey Plant Friends and Family!

Suns out, guns and the buns I didn’t know I had are out as well 🫣🤭 😂.

Let’s talk watering your plants…💦

Garden plants need water to grow and survive. Doesn’t matter if you collect it or get it from your faucet, both will get the job done. We prefer rainwater for it contains the necessary nutrients to help plants grow and stay vibrant. Hydrant water just provides the moisture needed to keep the roots alive.

Debating which one is better is pointless in my opinion. None of us live in areas that give quality rainwater due to the state of our environment. From the sky or our faucet, there’s going to be an impurity somewhere. 🥰

We experienced a break in and the barrels we use to store rainwater were stolen 😔, but we also have a connection to a fire hydrant and here I am giving our crops a much needed drink. The barrels will return and so will additional security measures.

Nothing will stop forward progress!
