Mini Herb Garden Housewarming Gift

My Aunt Theresa is a qualified horticulturist and has recently bought a new house so I made her a mini herb garden housewarming present.


Tools:
Six small terracotta pots
Small stones
Soil
Mixture of seeds (I used various herbs)
Paper Mache box
Cardstock
Ribbon
Double sided tape (or other adhesive)

I filled each of the terracotta pots with a mixture of soil and stones and put a sprinkling of seeds in each one. I used Rosemary, Thyme, Oregano, Basil, Chamomile and Garlic Chives.

I made little labels for each pot to note which herb was in each. I then covered a paper mache box with white cardstock and a strip of ribbon and decorated the box with a rubber stamp from the See D's collection. I also made an insert out of white cardstock to secure the pots once in the box. Using a large scallop punch, coordinating cardstock and Papertrey stamps I made a little medallion to adorn the top of the box.
