I need to go out and start picking now!

Make a homemade potpourri with dried rosemary leaves, lavender, and rose petals. Place the mixture in a decorative bowl and position it around your home to enjoy its pleasant fragrance. This is an excellent way to use up any excess rosemary from your garden.

Rosemary can be used to make homemade soap that is both fragrant and cleansing. Combine melted soap base with dried rosemary leaves and a few drops of rosemary essential oil. Pour the mixture into molds and let it harden before using. This soap can be a thoughtful gift for friends and family.

If you have pets, you know how mats can form in their fur. Lightly spritz a rosemary infusion (water boiled with rosemary sprigs and cooled) onto the mats before working a comb through. The rosemary not only helps detangle but also leaves a pleasant scent on your pets.
