| I am an organic gardener and I use many of my herbs and flowers in my creations. I started out making these things ( handmade goat milk soaps, chemical-free [organic but you can't call it that officially without spending oodles of $ for gov't certification ] lip balms, very dry skin balm, sachets, pillows, eye masks/pillows...  for my family and for gifts. After a while, locals started asking for them and my little shop was born. I now have an online shop thanks to BISI. I may expand my line of products a little in the future, but I will not sell something until I like it and use it. I will not use fake colors or scents (like "fragrance oils"). My products have only REAL chemical-free herbs, flowers, spices... in them.

| Hi Diana, I'm going to keep you in mind the next time I need to order something. Your idea to make all that from your garden is awesome. I would like to attempt something like that myself someday if I could find a safe spot to do it (we have 2 big dogs). I would definitely like to try some of your products soon. I'm liking the "all natural" concept more and more.

Hi I also sell handmade soaps. Working on scented ones now. I use all certified organic ingredients nothing I grow my own. All herbs are through a company that is certified to be organic as are my oils. As time goes on I hope to develop other products. Also have plans to sell at the local farmers market.

I'm liking the "all natural" concept more and more. Sandy, That would be great ! I have some soap curing now and will be listing it when it gets ready. I love gardening and have almost always had one. I use the herbs and flowers in my soaps, balms and I even cook with most of them too. I do order a few things like organic vanilla beans and the shea, mango, and cocoa butters... that I use as I don't have a greenhouse to grow those things  I like growing and using my own homegrown plants. It gives me a great satisfaction to see the whole process from start to finish and to know that I am using the absolute best for my family and my customers too. My kids like to help me in the garden and with the formulating of new soap/balm/bath "tea" recipes... . I do not test my products on animals - I test them on family - LOL When you get a chance, go to my main website and read the testamonials on the page called "What Customers Say" and look at some of my photos too. Let me know what you think. I am always tweeking my site and now that I have an "official" shopping page, I am redoubling my efforts to make sure eveything looks right. Diana P.S.

Oh I have a huge garden also. I grow my own fruits and veggies plus I have medicinal herbs that we use at home. I hate harvesting the medicinal herbs cause it most of the time involves pulling the whole plant up. But I leave everything the way nature intended so it seeds itself so I never run out. The only reason I do not use my own herbs is I can not guarantee that something the neighbor sprays will not drift over here.
