Gardening is one of the great joys in my life, so I was thrilled when Country Sampler Farmhouse Style asked me to put together a picnic basket full of herbs and edible flowers for the Spring 2021 issue.
This basket’s so perfect for a sunny spot in your home or as a focal point outdoors. It’s filled with marigolds, nasturtium, thyme, chives, sage, basil and more. Check out the whole article in the story called “Planters with Personality”, starting on page 102. Also featured is a fun little succulent plater made from vintage books!
I potted most of the herbs on into my raised beds outdoors last year, and they’re still growing strong. In fact, some of the flowers were still blooming until December!
Do you like to grow fresh herbs in your garden? There’s really nothing quite like having them readily available for adding to just about anything I’m cooking. Prettying up a salad with edible flowers always puts a smile on my face ☺.
Also included in this Spring issue is another fun coat hook project and a delicious recipe of quick bread focaccia topped with lots of veggies and herbs.
