Now is a good time to create gifts for
future giving. One gift that is inexpensive
and popular is a seed collection. First collect
fall seeds from interesting flowers and other
plants. Then take pictures and write up descriptions
of each plant. Possible include recipes. Package
all this with hand done seed packets and small
booklet.
Another gift from the garden a lavender wand.
Here are the steps to create lavender wands:
1. pick an odd number of stalks with flowers.
About 13 or 15 makes a small wand.
2. tie stalks together just below the flowers.
3. bend stems up to make a cage around the flowers.
4. tie stems just below the flowers again.
5. weave a ribbon or plant between the stems
covering the flowers.
