This book has many gift ides for people who like flowers, potpourri, candles, and crafts. Many are layered in canning jars for a festive presentation. The "jar" ideas have a jar drawn around them on the page (to locate them at a glance).
One of the most unique ideas in this book is Potpourri Candy Snack Mix on pg 16. Make it in your kitchen from different cereals and candy melting discs. Delicious and unusual for a gift or to serve at a patio party or shower.
Also unique are the 8 different, specialized potting soil blends layered in quart jars. These are given as gifts (alone or with a small plant and a 6" flower pot). They are formulated for different kinds of plants - giving that plant the type of soil it needs. These recipes are on pages 8 to 15.
One soil blend (the "Top to Bottom!" Soil Blend on pg.15) contains everything needed to pot a plant, including pebbles for drainage and decorative bark for the top - all in one jar!
For complete listing of recipes included in this book, refer to the index on pg 32.
