🌼 Spring mood in the yard + Garden Fair ready!

Sunscreen factor 20 with a new recipe was used extensively during Easter by the sea. So delicious and easy to spread, less white on the skin and just a golden brown and nice after being in the sun. We are packing lots of sunscreen with us for the Garden Fair!

🌿 Welcome to the Garden Fair in Lillestrøm!
Friday to Sunday this weekend you will find Linda, Ylva and me at our regular spot during the Garden Fair. We are looking forward to meeting you all again!

🎁 Great offers
💆🏼♀️ Free neck massage with Panther balm
🌸 Amazingly good botanical products for skin and hair

Ylva and I are bringing Panterbalsam and our strong gardening hands – so all you have to do is sign up and take a little wellness break from the hustle and bustle of the fair. We promise both pleasure, fragrance and a truly wonderful time!

🚜 Chaos, compost and need for control

But before we get going, I have to keep my mouth shut here at home… Because there is a lot that needs to happen in a very short time before leaving for the Garden Fair tomorrow morning! The rush and chaos that I feel, I have to turn into structured chaos and systematic work:

• Wheelbarrows with compost, chips and larval fertilizer in the greenhouse 🧑🌾

• Sowing at record speed inside the nursery and greenhouse + some seeds out in the open field 🌱

• Create watering instructions for those at home 💦

• Review of which employee will pick nettles to dry while I'm away 🍃

I try to remind myself that what I can't do, it's okay if it has to wait. It's good that everything is done. It's not always easy, but I'm practicing. Phew! 😅

🏁 When motorsport meets mold
In the midst of all this chaos, visitors showed up – and not just anyone!
🏎️ Hedda Hosås, the motorsport star and the toughest girl in the world, came to the farm. Me in Vossabia are proud to sponsor her, and on this day she became a true garden hero.
 
I simply put her to work, with a wheelbarrow and moving compost and soil, and we also got to sow both Calendula , sunflowers and some vegetables 🌼🌻🥬 It was a fantastic session – and a little lighter heart and head for me. And hopefully not the worst recharge before Hedda participates in Hyrox Fitness Racing in Barcelona this weekend 😅

✨ Citrus scrub and Garden on your hands – for happy garden hands
After such a session out in the dirt, there's one thing that matters: Citrus scrub!
Black under your nails and dirt in every fold of your skin – but with a round of this powerful, fresh and extremely deliciously scented scrub, your hands will be like new 👐

And after scrubbing? Then it's absolutely fantastic to apply it to your hands Soft hands , our magical hand balm that penetrates deeply and nourishes all the way to the knuckles 🤩 I use this several times a day – especially now that gardening is really drying out my skin.   In addition, both Calendula Balm and Chamomile Balm are absolutely great to use on garden hands. These two little all-purpose heroes soothe, calm and protect – they can be used for many things – and the little jars are so super practical that I carry them with me everywhere: in my garden apron, jacket pocket or bag 🎒   👉 That's why we've now collected these three favorites in the package offer: The Garden on Your Hands ! 🙌 You get: 🌸 Soft hands 15 ml 🌼 Calendula Balm 15 ml 🌿 Chamomile balm 15 ml 💚 Everything at 15% off , so your hands get what they need – and you save a little at the same time. This is the package for those of you who want to take care of your hands through spring gardening and summer chores – and who like to have wonderful, effective botanical products readily available, no matter where you are. 🍃 Spring cleaning from the garden By the way, I told Hedda about a simple and powerful spring cleansing tea – with herbs that are sprouting around us now. These plants are so full of health power and really nice to use in so many ways. They cleanse the body gently, speed up urination, strengthen the body and it is very easy to make tea from spring favorites:   🌱 Recipe Spring Cleansing Tea with Dandelion, Nettle and Birch Leaves You need: - 1 handful each of: dandelion leaves, nettle and birch leaves - 1 liter of water - Add some fresh peppermint for flavor and effect   How to do it: 1 - Boil the water. 2 - Add the plants and turn off the heat. 3 - Let steep under a lid for 10 minutes. 4 - Strain and enjoy! I drank two cups in the morning before Hedda arrived – a real spring boost for the body. 🌼 Nettle from head to toe Nettle is truly the super plant in the yard at the moment, and I get completely giddy when I see it here and there and hopefully everywhere: We make nettle soup, nettle tea and nettle pesto (amazing on tuna pizza!) Using nettle in shampoo and hair serum And the plant can even be smuggled into cakes and smoothies (Maybe you'll come up with a recipe for Nettle and Dandelion Cake soon?) 🌞 Dandelion happiness and new products in the works The dandelions are already blooming, several weeks earlier than usual up here! They shine like little suns in the yard, and it's not just our bees that have plans for the dandelions in the future, because I do too! 🧪 I'm going to make a tincture of dandelion root for a new product! I have an idea for a new one.  Vossabia product  – with dandelions and other super plants and I'm working on developing a product with special properties for women in menopause. So it's sprouting both in bed and in my head at the moment. So stay tuned! 👀 Here inside the greenhouse, the dandelion has been blooming for days, but now it's standing there, yellow and cool, stretching towards the sun outside! 🌞   🌸 See you at the Garden Fair! Now waiting for gardening gloves, seeds and wheelbarrows, and a light jog outside 😂 – and then Lillestrøm and Garden Fair! 💚   We really hope to see you there – because this is the highlight of spring! 🌿🌞
