These plants are used in cooking, medicine and landscaping, but they have other uses that often go unnoticed. Fresh cut herbs can be found in the larger supermarkets in the produce section. Nurseries and garden centers carry some herbs in the fall and winter. Some projects require filler plant material other than herbs. Dried flowers, foliage and other supplies can be bought at hobby stores, floral supply businesses, and some garden centers and nurseries.
Gardeners can dry their own plant material for use.
Our projects use both fresh and dried plant materials. This list is not inclusive. Let your imagination take off. Use what you have on hand. Take a stroll around the yard or woods gathering material as you go.
