How to forage for "freebreeze" & steam fresh your home

"Freebreeze," anyone? 🌿🍃🌺🌲🌳 Use a food steamer to naturally fragrance your home with plant materials you've foraged. Start by Googling terms like "fragrant trees", "scented plants."🌳🌲🌸🍃🌿

Then, take a hike and start sniffing!

Blue Juniper - has a juniper piney, orange scent.

Rosemary

Wax Myrtle seeds have bay berry scent.

Wax myrtle leaves have a stronger lemony eucalyptus fragrance.

Mum plant tips have a carnation like scent.

Star gum trees have a beechnut gum scent.

Scrub pine needles have a fresh pine scent.

Wild fennel weed has an anise carrot scent.

Basil. I use the stems and save the leaves for cooking.

In 15 minutes and just in my own yard, I collected a bowlful of 7 different outdoor fragrances.

Fill steamer with water as in normal use.

Pack plant materials in the steamer basket and steam away! Awwww, I left the lid askew so the steamy natural fragrance wafted through my home.

🍃🌿🌾Plant selection will vary based on your environment. We have an abundance of pine and wax myrtle here in the Carolinas. 🌾🌿🍃

Bonus - resulting scented water can be used as a light room spray.

I added 1/4 volume distilled alcohol - vodka - as a preservative and poured into recycled spray bottle.

My indoors smell like the fresh outdoors! Please like my guide, leave comment on fragrant plants you have found.
