Daffodils
Probably nothing in the gardening world is more foolproof and more rewarding than “naturalizing” daffodils. Because unlike most other garden flowers, these fantastic plants are super-easy to plant in fall, they don’t care about soil, as long as it’s well-drained, and they’ll bloom beautifully for you with absolutely no work every spring after you plant them. Best of all, daffodils increase over the years, each bulb developing into a blooming clump. All you have to do is pick the spots. The one thing to remember is that you won’t be able to mow that area until the tops die down. Everything else takes care of itself. In a new or established wildflower meadow, the wildflower plants grow up around the daffodils hiding the fading foliage, so there’s no work to do. And if you’re planting wildflower seed, what could be easier that to pop in the bulbs when you have the ground already turned?
New Eco-Friendly Wildflower Favors
In addition to our bestselling Herbs in a Box favor featuring rosemary, basil, parsley, thyme and chives, we are now adding to our eco-friendly favor family! We have wildflowers in a box which features a 3 1/2″ x 3″ x 1″ 100% recycled kraft pillow box and a compostable cello bag of wildflower seeds. You can add personalized labels to this favor from our gift and favor labels category or tie some eco-friendly paper raffia ribbon around it and add a gift and favor tag.
New Spring 2009 Wedding Favors
Our new line of spring wedding favors is up and ready to ship! My personal favorite this year are the Sea Glass Luminaries with beaded handles – they are sure to bring the beauty of the beach to your tables.
You don’t have to be having a beach-themed wedding to add these special luminary favors to your event. These tealight favors are so pretty and can be used for special events, showers, parties, etc. I would love to have them on the table at a dinner party for a soothing effect.
There are also quite a few favors this spring with cherry blossoms, all of which are completely gorgeous AND practical! I am not one to push useless favors, as they really should be a way to say thank you to your guests for sharing your event and celebrating your day, whatever it may be. I love these Cherry Blossom Glass Coaster Favors and the Cherry Blossoms Vellum Wine Glass Shades. With one of those battery operated tealights, they would make a beautiful addition to your tables, nighttime or day.
And of course we love our eco-friendly favors, from reusable shopping bags, to Herbs in a Box, to bamboo coasters and soaps with recycled paper labels. The
Herbs in a Box is one of our bestsellers, a completely recycled, reusable and practical gift for guests. It comes with a reusable, recycled kraft box, a peat pot and peat pellet and seeds, instructions for planting and raffia ribbon, all completely compostable.
