Dry your own flowers and herbs at home!

🌿Flower and herb drying at home is simple! It’s a great way to extend the life of your herbs for medicinal use and of flowers for year round beauty and free seeds!

🌟Medicinal herbs and flowers are best dried in a dark and dry space that has good ventilation. Extra ventilation can be added by using a fan in your space. Sunlight can damage the medicinal properties of your plants and cause flowers to loose their vibrant colors.

🌸Hang plants upside down by their stems, arrange plants on a drying rack, or even lay them out in a cardboard box. There are many easy and economical ways to dry plants at home.

🌻Once your plant material is easily crushed between your fingers it is dry and ready to be stored in glass jars. If the plant material does not crumble in your hands it still contains moisture and needs to dry longer.

🌷Seeds can be saved from dried flowers and stored for next season’s planting!
