Mixed Arrangement

Pairing the herbs with seasonal blooms and edibles makes this arrangement inexpensive and one-of-a-kind. This arrangement is versatile—use what you have in season to bring it together. Even if your garden isn’t full of spring vegetables, herbs, or florals just yet, look for seasonal blooms and edibles at your local farmers market or grocery store to create an arrangement.

Herbal Balm

This basic herbal balm is ideal for softening and healing chapped or dry hands, and the recipe can be customized to suit your needs. Try calendula for its antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, antiviral, and healing properties. Or chamomile, with its ability to reduce redness, itchiness, and swelling.

Tub Teas

Soak your worries away with your homemade spa treatment. Tub teas are the perfect way to relax in cold winter months, and the ingredients will do wonders for your dry, itchy skin. They are super simple to put together and make lovely gifts for Mother’s Day, baby and bridal showers, as well as “just because” gifts.

Infused Honey

Infused honey can be used as a cough suppressant or as a flavoring for your favorite teas. You can use any edible herb you like, and even combine herbs with spices like cinnamon, cloves, star anise, vanilla, and even peppercorns. Chamomile-infused honey makes a delicious supplement to take during cold and flu season.
