Daisy Carnation Potpourri | Commercial Dehydrators

Save your dying flowers. Make potpourri with fresh fruit and herbs, dried flowers! It’s so easy, you’ll never toss those freshly cut blooms into the trash again. This simple, classic homemade herbal recipe will make your home smell divine.

If you have ever purchased a dried wreath from the store, you know how expensive they are. Well, crank up your dehydrator, because we have a solution for you! You can use flowers and herbs from your garden, as well as bark, twigs, and leaves collected from a walk in the woods. You can even use peelings from grapefruit, oranges, lemons, limes, and apples that would have otherwise been consigned to the compost heap.

These ornaments are beautiful and precious. When I give them as gifts, the first question always is, "Oh wow! Where did you buy these?"

Turning a fresh bouquet into a dried arrangement is not only an amazing way to preserve your favorite blooms, they also make fabulous gifts. Simply follow these simple steps to dry flowers and your imagination can create all kinds of dried flower arrangements. This recipe is also great when dehydrating flowers for teas as well.

Essential oils are a great way to add subtle fragrance to potpourri. So don't throw those freshly cut blooms - instead, turn them into a pleasant-smelling fragrance!
