The woolliest gift wrap that ever was

Thursday, November 17th, 2011

As the holidays approach, I like to think of ways to be less wasteful and more woolly when it comes to spreading the holiday cheer. This year, I’ve decided go green with my gifts– so friends an family can expect to get plants and other handmade goodies, and yes, some Woollies to keep the plants cozy through the winter. I have also decided to wrap my gifts in with the prettiest, most compostable gift wrap that nature has to offer– flowers and leaves! So get woolly this holiday season, gift green and why not use flowers instead of plastic bows, you’ll be giving a gift to mother nature, too.

See you next week!

Fresh Herbs for Thanksgiving

Thursday, November 3rd, 2011

 

As Thanksgiving approaches, aromas of rosemary, sweet basil, cloves, sage, majoram and nutmeg waft to mind. Fresh herbs and spices are a quintessential  part of any Thanksgiving feast, so instead of buying sad little herbs in plastic boxes at the grocery store this Thanksgiving, grow your own! Use the herbs to cook your fresh herb stuffing, your herb-roasted turkey (or Tofurky), your gravies, salads and pies and then, use the herbs as edible centerpieces to enjoy and celebrate the harvest during the meal as well– doesn’t that sound herbalicious?  What are you growing for Thanksgiving this year?
