Art and Craft
Art and craft is all about recipes and recycled designs. Everything we grow will be used, from plum butter to herbal teas. All designs are hand made and sourced from left over materials. This is a great way of recycling, education and innovation.

I started making little lavender bags for the children.

The lovely scent can be placed anywhere in the house. The kids like to use it as a calming toy, as the rice can make a crunchy noise.
