Product Description

The third book in the very successful Natural Beauty series with sales over 70,000.If Natural Beauty at Home was inspired by the kitchen, and Natural Beauty for All Seasons was inspired by gift-giving, this book is inspired by the garden.

Readers will have her trademark step-by-step recipes for such items as Sunflower Seed Scrub, Aloe and Calula Cream, Rose Geranium Splash, Apricot Baby Oil, Scented Bath Pillow, and many, many more. In addition, over one hundred garden notes are sprinkled throughout the book, containing information on soil type, tools, containers, growing tips, and simple, whimsical garden designs. But, although gardeners will be drawn to this aspect of the book, you don't have to have a garden, or even a window box, to make the recipes here, since all ingredients can be found in natural food stores or farmers' markets. Natural Beauty from the Garden simply captures the spirit of the outdoors while promoting a fun, economical, natural beauty regime. This is a charming collection of beauty and garden freshness that anyone who loves to pamper herself or grow a garden full of flowers will want to have.

From the Author
Have fun in the garden -- look and feel terrific naturally!
This new book was fun to write as it combines two of my favorite activities -- Gardening and Creating Beauty products. There are 200 all new recipes that are "plant inspired!" If Natural Beauty at Home came from the kitchen and Natural Beauty for All Seasons was inspired by the seasonal changes we go through and gift giving ideas -- This new book definately came from the outdoors! It was in my garden that I was instantly inspired to create yet another "Beauty Cookbook" and this one may be the best yet! I have also included garden notes that I have learned over the years to keep your flowers, herbs, trees, and plants looking and growing their best. All the recipes use plants as their inpiration -- yet you do not have to grow a thing -- Like the other books many of the ingredients are easily available at your local grocery or natural food store. Have fun in the garden!

Great recipe book
Natural Beauty from the Garden does just what it says on the cover! It has more than 200 beauty recipes using herbs and plants you can easily grow in your garden along with items easily available from your local shop or supermarket. The beauty recipes cover all aspects of beauty from hair products to fragrance with body, hand and foot, facial, bath and massage products inbetween. As well as all these recipes there are handy hints and tips for gardening and growing the ingredients needed, and how to preserve and store these ingredients.
Note that I have not yet tried any of these recipes as I only received the book two days ago, so I can not comment on the success or not of the products. But trust me, there are loads of recipes you will want to try and I certainly will be!

More than I ever imagined
I loved the other two books a lot. When I bought this book, I was hesitant that there could possibly be much more that Janice could show me... Was I wrong? YES! Filled with loads of information and wonderful recipes and how-tos this book doesn't even reach the bookshelf, I keep it so handy! Great job Janice Cox!
