The Answer Well, you re fixin to learn how to create some really nifty and simple pretties to give as gifts or use as decorations for your own home. If you re a gardener you probably have an abundance of fresh plant material on hand that can be used to create thoughtful, original gifts and beautiful decorations. If you don t garden, don t fret. 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. Brown thumbers can purchase their material or use material from their landscapes or gather native plant material. Our projects use both fresh and dried plant materials. This list is not inclusive.
