Have you seen the In Her Garden magazine inspiration publication? It’s about a woman and her garden, with many beautiful pages of garden projects.

I’ve found plenty to inspire me within the pages of the Stampington & Company magazine during these winter months, with snow on the ground. Planting seeds and new plants is still months away, but I still love to think about the beauty of flowers and the fragrance of herbs.

To glimpse from my windows and walk past outside. Brush against it and let the aromatic scent drift through the air.

This publication features numerous DIY projects. For instance, a foraged fig fire starter bundle looks fun to create. All you do is gather twigs from your yard or garden.

House Plant Saucer DIY:

When I come across clear plates at the thrift store, I’d like to create a decoupage DIY project like the one in the publication. I love the idea of pretty saucers to put under plant pots!

For this decoupage project, you use tissue paper instead of paper. Using thin tissue paper ensures it adheres to odd-shaped objects, such as plant saucers. Applying it to the back of the transparent glass plate allows you to see the pattern and color underneath.

Imagine all that color and pattern right underneath your houseplant pot! You’d have something utilitarian that also makes that plant saucer look extra special.

Herb Garden Basket Gift:

Do you have a friend or loved one who would appreciate receiving a gift of an herb garden basket you put together just for them? I know I’d love to receive it!

I have some of those seed-starter peat pots I picked up to make a craft or plant seeds in long ago, but I never got around to doing it.

However, I now have a printer, so I can print the green herb images onto cardstock or heavyweight paper and create these little seed packets.

Add garden tools, gloves, a few terracotta pots, and wooden plant markers to a thrifted basket, and you’ve got a lovely gift to give. You could even add a copy of In Her Garden to the gift basket!

Pressed Flower Coasters:

I’ve always wanted to try pressing and drying flowers from my garden. This project would be perfect for a DIY when I have summer flowers blooming.

You need raw wood slices and decoupage medium. In Her Garden’s Editor-in-Chief created this project. She said she made these coasters for her mother.

Natural Homemade Holiday Ornament:

The holidays are behind us, but I thought this ornament was extra special. The leaves are either sage or lamb’s ear. I’ll keep this in mind for next Christmas.

All you need are Styrofoam balls and leaves from your garden.

Botanical Oat Gardener’s Soap:

I never dabbled in soap making, but I have ordered homemade soap from Etsy shop owners. I’ve always admired how someone creates such an ordinary cleaner but also makes it beautiful and smells wonderful.

This goat’s milk soap base is infused with almond oil and dried rose blooms to help soothe gardeners’ hands. It also consists of a healing blend of yarrow leaves to deal with nicks and inflammation, as well as rosemary for its antibacterial properties.

Seeing all these ideas excited me about my new garden at my new home when spring arrives.

I’ve already pre-ordered the next In Her Garden publication, the Spring issue, which will be out in March. To order a copy, click here. This is one of those magazines you keep thumbing through again and again.
