  • Making Dried Floral and Herbal Sachets Fragrant Flowers and Aromatic Herbs Can Be Dried and Used in Potpourri Or Sachet
    Making Dried Floral and Herbal Sachets Fragrant flowers and aromatic herbs can be dried and used in potpourri or sachet. Potpourri is a mixture of dried flowers and herbs normally placed in a bowl to add fragrance to a room. Potpourri added to a small bag is called a sachet. Sachets are often placed in drawers and closets et al. Either will provide a fragrance that will remind you of the summer well into the winter. To make a sachet: This Photo by Unknown Author is licensed under 1. Select or make a small bag or packet with a somewhat open weave material (organza, chiffon, lace, muslin et al), leaving an opening or one side open. 2. Mix together the dried herb/flowers* to fill the bag. 3. Optional: Add essential oil drops to the dried herbs/flowers sparingly. Additional option: Add essential oil drops to orris root powder, then add the powder to dried herb/flowers. Orris root powder (from iris rhizome) helps the fragrance last longer. Use 1 tsp orris root powder per one cup of materials. 4. Fill the bag with mixture. 5. Secure the opening or side. Handling the bag will crush the dried herb/flower pieces, releasing their fragrance. 6. Sachet can be tucked into drawers or luggage, placed or hung in closets, added to baths or added to dryer loads. a. If used in the bath, it likely will not have much scent remaining after one use. If it does, allow to dry thoroughly before storing. b. If used in the dryer it can be reused for 5-10 loads before losing scent.

  • Fragrant Plants in the Garden PZA Article.Cdr
    South African National Biodiversity Institute Gardening with South African Plants Fragrant plants in the garden By Alice Notten, Interpretation Ofcer, Kirstenbosch National Botanical Garden February 2017 Fragrance adds an extra dimension to the garden. When we pay attention to the scents and aromas wafting around us, a new world opens up. Scents can change a mood, induce feelings, trigger memories, make new ones, and entice one down the garden path. Clever use of scented and aromatic plants can turn any garden into an enchanting place. Fragrant foliage The core of a fragrant garden has to be plants with aromatic foliage. Most aromatic plants release their scent when touched, so plant them where they are most likely to be brushed against, such as beside paths, steps and gateways, in between paving stones, or in easy reach beside a bench, in raised beds or in window boxes. Some also scent the air around them, especially on warm, windless days. Next time you are shopping for plants, rub their leaves and have a sniff. Pick out those with scents that you like. There are many to choose from: Pelargoniums are rewarding garden plants with showy owers and beautiful foliage, and many have aromatic leaves, in an astonishing range of scents, including rose (Pelargonium capitatum, P. graveolens and P. radens), peppermint (P. tomentosum), lemon (P. citronellum and P. crispum), camphor (P. exstipulatum and P. betulinum), nutmeg (P. ‘Fragrans’) and balsam (P. glutinosum, P. panduriforme and P. quercifolium), and many more have their own unique fragrance. Add them to sunny beds and borders, and give them well-composted soil and moderate water.
