DIY Gardening

Using essential oils in gardening offers benefits which include natural pest control, disease prevention + plant health promotion; thus reducing the need for chemical pesticides.

Additionally, essential oils can enhance soil quality and stimulate plant development. By incorporating essential oils, gardeners can maintain an eco-friendly, sustainable garden that supports a thriving ecosystem.

ALWAYS REMEMBER:

Avoid Peak Sunlight: Apply essential oils in the early morning or late evening to prevent potential leaf burn from the sun's heat when oils are present.
