These items are all things I enjoy or wanted to add to my home and/or garden.

With a new job, and new goals, it only seemed fair (and kind of fun) to buy gifts for folks who take the time to read my posts. Thank you!!

I also shopped at local shops and botanical garden gift shops so there’s that too…

‘Tis the season!!

Prize 7: Juniper Ridge Douglas Fir Spring Tip Tea

Years ago I was introduced to this tea at the home of a friend. It’s refreshing and smells of the woods with a hint of citrus. I hope it surprises and is as deeply enjoyed by one of you. I love this stuff so much.

Prize 8: 9 SUNPACK® Color Square Injection Molded Pots 2.5″

I purchased a bunch of these locally over a year ago for one of my propagation presentations. They have great drainage and can be used again and again.

Did I mention that they’re colorful too!?!

Prize 9: Little Howl Brush

I found these little brushes at Garden Fever. They’re handmade with indigenous practices in Mosier, Oregon,

I bought two, and intend to use mine for little craft projects. Probably some seed sowing too.

Prize 10: Protect our Pollinators Sign

While at the Rhododendron Species Botanical Garden a few weeks ago I purchased several items for this giveaway. One of them was this sign from the Seattle Seed Company.

Just attach to a stake, a fence, a wall… Whatever works for you.

Prize 11: Portland Bee Company Beeswax and Super Bloom Honey Bar Soap: Mint

Purchased because I love Portland Bee Company so much. Their lip balm is my favorite and I use it daily.

This is soap though, and it has mint in it. I adore mint. Reminds me of visiting Jefferson, OR when I was a girl. Back then they grow acres and acres of mint that was made into essential oil and was sold to Japan.

I could barely breathe driving through there on hot summer days with the windows down.

Prize 12: Fiskars: Pruning Snip

The last item in this group is a new pair of snips. I’ve used these same ones for cleaning plants and floral work for many years. They’re my favorite snips, and I thought it would be fun to pass along a pair to someone else.

Ahhhh, the tools of the trade.

Good luck folks and thank you so much for being you!!!

I hope you celebrate being alive this week, how special you are, and then wrap yourself up in some serious love. It’s rough out there right now, and we need one another.
