Pot- Pourri. Make it !

It is sad to see that most garden flowers last only for a short time. So we thought of make them last a little longer by making a pot-pourri.



So we  picked some fresh flowers. These are the flowers in our garden.






Kids picked some fresh flowers from the garden, and I was bit reluctant to let them pick flowers, however we started it. Choose a warm dry day to collect petals.





kids collected it in an open tray.. Placed it in a an airing space in our house to dry.




Annu and Theresu watered plants once they collected the petals, as it was a real hot day.




After two three days !! Smell is getting better as soon as you pass close to it !.So nice refreshing smell. Added rose petals and some lavender too.


After about a week, it became dry. Smells really great. I am planning to add few drops of rose oil to make it smell even better. So pot pourri will be ready to display it on some window side to love the fresh smell of summer garden.
