Stewardship Association says let nature both freshen and beautify your space—for free!

December 1, 2019

Rose hip prunings wreath on front doorThe SMB Stewardship Association says nature offers great car and room fresheners, making artificial commercial products unnecessary. A handful of balsam fir boughs or a handful of bayberry leaves placed on your vehicle’s back window, or in small indoor spaces such as bathrooms, laundry rooms and closets, smell great, cost nothing, involve zero packaging waste, and protect us from unknown and synthetic compounds.

And if you’ve cut back tree branches, wild roses and other shrubbery in the autumn, save the prunings for holiday wreaths, such as this lovely rosehip wreath made by a Bay resident after she cut back wild roses by her driveway.

As always, please harvest sustainably!

Acrylic on wood, 9 x 12, Unframed, $155. The calm, the peace, the freshness of a frozen lake in the winter. So many tranquil shorelines of beauty surround the Bay. We have the majesty of the ocean all around us, and beyond their cresting waves, in amongst the trees and forest, is the quiet, peaceful, silent stillness of our many lakes. A lake in the winter takes on a different sense of quiet and stillness. Breathe in this moment, this beauty. Breathe in peace.
