Tussie-mussies
These Victorian
nosegays use the language of herbs - instead of
taking chocolates or wine to a party, how much more
original and charming to give a Tussie-mussie, made
up of herbs and a single, central flower from your
own garden. They conveyed messages of love,
sympathy or understanding and even had their own
silver holders when most fashionable. Lacking the
silverware, cut a hole in a paper doily and arrange
your herbs & flower in that, fasten the stems
with a rubber band and then cover that with raffia,
string, strands of ivy or a pretty ribbon. This is
also a particularly delightful little gift to bring
to the birth of a baby, and may well include a
sweet scented rose and every herb below to ensure a
well-rounded character!

NB: Although many herbs
have medicinal applications, or are said to have
magical influences, we don't sell ours with such
claims, believing these to be the province of
experts in such things. While enjoying the
histories, we make no recommendations. All herbs
have their own properties and it should never be
assumed that because it's 'natural', it's also
'harmless'.
Minimum order 6 pots of your choice.
