🍋 **HOMEGROWN TEA Of THE DAY-
LEMONGRASS ** 🌿

Did you know that lemongrass is more than just a pretty, fragrant plant growing in the garden? It can also be brewed into a refreshing cup of herbal tea! 🌱

Here are a few reasons to add lemongrass tea to your wellness routine:

🍋 **May Support Digestion** — Traditionally used to help soothe an upset stomach and ease feelings of bloating.

💧 **Helps With Hydration** — A delicious, caffeine-free way to keep your body hydrated throughout the day.

🌿 **Rich in Plant Compounds** — Contains natural antioxidants that help protect cells from damage.

😌 **A Relaxing Ritual** — Its fresh, citrusy aroma makes it a lovely drink to enjoy while slowing down and unwinding.

❤️ **May Support Healthy Blood Pressure** — Some early research suggests potential benefits, but more human studies are needed.

🍵 **HOW TO MAKE IT:**
1️⃣ Add 1–2 teaspoons of dried lemongrass (or a few fresh pieces) to a cup of hot water.
2️⃣ Cover and steep for 5–10 minutes.
3️⃣ Strain and enjoy! Add a little raw honey for a touch of natural sweetness. 🍯

🌱 **A LITTLE HOMESTEAD WISDOM:** Sometimes, the simplest things growing in our gardens can become a beautiful part of our everyday wellness routine!

Grow a little. Sip a little. Live a little closer to nature. 💚

This weeks Greenhouse boutique

Normally we would not cut our roses until they are about to loose their petals and we plan to use them for our apothecary or aroma therapy needs, but this time of year...

Its just beautiful to see flowers still blooming in the garden, so why not enjoy them while we can!

It’s stink bug season… 🪲🍂

You know what that means — they’re looking for a warm place to spend the fall and winter, and apparently **my greenhouse made the list.** 😂

Check the doors, windows, screens, and those little cracks around the house because once they find a way in, they’ll invite ALL their cousins. 😩

**A few ways to send them packing:**
🪲 Vacuum them up — just empty the vacuum afterward so they don’t crawl back out.
🪲 Use soapy water — knock them into a container of water with a little dish soap.
🪲 Seal up cracks around windows, doors, screens, and siding.
🪲 Repair torn screens and add door sweeps where needed.
🪲 Turn off unnecessary outdoor lights at night — lights can attract them.
🪲 And whatever you do… **DON’T SMASH THEM!** 🤢 That smell is their whole defense system!

A little prevention now can save you from a whole stink bug family reunion later. 😂🍂

Country living… you gotta love it!

The greenhouse has LIGHTS now! ✨🌱

Since the days are getting shorter and darkness is coming sooner, we decided to add a little extra light to **“The Hive.”**

Nothing fancy over here… just using what we already had.

🎄 Christmas lights we picked up on clearance a couple years ago for **$1**. 😂

Because around here, we don’t always need the newest or fanciest thing. Sometimes you just have to **use what you have, make it work, and keep growing.** 🌱❤️

A little light, a little creativity, and a whole lot of country girl ingenuity.

Now let’s see what we can grow through the shorter days! 🌿✨

🐝 SEPTEMBER IS NATIONAL HONEY MONTH! 🍯

Around here, honey bees aren't just something we keep… they're part of the farm family.

Every bee in the hive has a job, and together they do something pretty amazing.

They pollinate our gardens, orchards and flowers while making one of nature's sweetest gifts—RAW LOCAL HONEY. 🍯🌻

We're learning that when we take care of the pollinators, we're helping take care of our food supply too. 🐝🌱

We truly appreciate the opportunity to help make a difference. ❤️

The world revolves around our youth and the paths we pave for them. What we teach today can become the foundation for what they build tomorrow.

We’re **building, learning, teaching, and growing together**—reaching young minds while getting our hands in the soil and growing fresh, healthy food to help provide for our community.

There’s something special about watching a child plant a seed, nurture it, and eventually see the fruit of their own work. 🌱🥕🍅

This is bigger than a garden.
It’s about **growing knowledge, confidence, responsibility, healthy habits, and a sense of community.**

Planting seeds in the garden… and planting seeds in young minds. 🌱❤️

And we are grateful to be part of the growing process.

Our garden is getting some much needed TLC from Jones Farm and our 4th graders will bring their classrooms outside for planting with CAASTLC's Seeds of Hope Farm soon! There are so many agricultural gems in Spanish Lake and we are so grateful for our neighbors!
