Most of us don’t equate “goat milk” with “great scent,” but this soap smells fabulous. Goat milk contains vitamins and minerals known for moisturizing and rejuvenating skin. The skin benefits from the exfoliating nature of the milk’s lactic acid, as well as vitamins A and D, which help give strength and suppleness.
Goat Milk Soap and Goat Milk Lotion with Orchid Oil from Canus actually do contain real orchid oil, a restorative nourishment for dry skin, with a scent that is rich, but not-too-sweet floral. The Goat Milk Lotion with Orchid Oil ($11.50), a 16-ounce pump bottle, is a great companion to Goat Milk Soap with Orchid Oil ($3.50). Our friends at The Spa Shop in Eureka Springs have recommendations to relax, renew and restore. Just ask.

Charley’s Greenhouse & Garden has every kind of greenhouse, but I love the charming yet practical (and very English) greenhouse for over-wintering my tropical plants and for getting a head start on spring gardening. The Cambridge Greenhouse is built for gardeners who want an economical and functional hobby greenhouse – and it’s easy-peasy for the do-it-yourself gardener with pre-cut parts drilled for easy nut-and-bolt assembly. (The one shown here is an 8-by-10-foot Cambridge Greenhouse, $2,110.)

If I had only one garden tool, this would be it. The CobraHead® precision weeder and cultivator ($24.95) is a multipurpose garden tool with a steel fingernail® blade that edges the garden and removes weeds in quick order. I love this tool for container gardening and around closely spaced miniature roses and herbs. For stand-up weeding and cultivating, a CobraHead® Long Handle is available.
