Drying times

Once dried, you can use gathered flowers, homegrown herbs and surplus fruit skins to create soothing herbal potions, flavoured oils and tasty seasoning mixes.

You will need:

• Herb scissors or garden snips• Attractive glass jars and wide-brimmed bottles with lids, cleaned and dried with labels soaked off• Twine (I use Trade Aid natural twine)• Baking paper (I use the unbleached If You Care FSC Certified Parchment Baking Paper)• Extra-virgin olive oil• Squares of cheesecloth (muslin)• Home-printed paper labels• Clear, wide packaging tape
