Looking back on the ripe of Garden Therapy in 2018 . Sharing the braggart and small changes as well as the news and highlights . study on to see the most popular articles from the year .
Last January , my husband predicted this was going to be a class of big change .
He was good . Sort of .
Big change were REALIZED this year , but they came from many years of foundation being put down . They came in with less of a kick and more of the sweet melody of a songster that make full up the scope and puts a smile on your grimace .
I kicked off the year with a brand new adventure , theGarden Therapy Seed Collection , a serial ofeight themed seed kitsthat are available only through GardenTrends . I worked with GardenTrends to develop each outfit to work a DIY garden to life with especially selected seeded player varieties , supply , growing didactics , and a few merriment extra in each one . From theIndoor Herb kitthat produce decently on your window in Livi Pots to theOrnamental Edibles kitthat comes with the groundbreaking Roo harvesting apron , each collection included everything you needed to land Garden Therapy home base .
I had so much playfulness growing each of the eight theme garden but I think my very favorite affair was connecting with other gardeners and seeing how their garden grew .
In example growing eight garden was n’t enough , I also indite two new Scripture this year . The first one add up out in the summer and it ’s all about making your own works - establish beauty products and packaging them up for gift . Make & Give Home Apothecarywas such a joy to write ( um , dream job ! ) and I just love all the photos and e-mail I have been getting showing off thesuper - easy - to - make - yet - stunningprojects from the book .
At the remainder of the year , I take my passion ofblabbing on about how easy AND worthwhile it is to make natural beauty productsand focused it into an online course . TheBotanical Beauty Holiday Gifts Workshopwas created so we could craft up bath salt , tub tea leaf , app barroom and bath bombs together while having some jape and make homemade gifts we can all finger really good about .
The Workshop has now closed for the year but I had such a great time working with the pupil and LOVED seeing the beautiful things they created . I know I will be launching another series again soon !
This yr , above all else , has been pit by a touch sensation of gratitude . Throughout the years that I was handicapped , I found that being grateful for what I had served me more than feeling down about what I had lose . I know that is not on-key for everyone , and we all deal with alteration , departure , and grief differently . No judgement here , just do it . But for me , as I regained my wellness , I was burst at the seems with love for all of the people who touched my life in belittled ways .
