Okay, so you went outside this morning and worked yourself into a lather ripping the errant Bermuda grass out of your neglected roadside garden . . . .
No, wait, that was me.
Good thing I had some Gardener’s Scrubbing Soap from my dear friends at Botanical Interests. Like all the participants at the garden blogger meetup called Buffa10, I received a free bar in my goodie bag. Now, Botanical Interests wants to give a bar to one of you. It is lovely. The scrubbing comes from poppy seeds, and it softly smells of herbal yumminess. On days like today when I’m covered head to toe in grunge, I use it to gently scrub away all the dirt I’ve accumulated. I love good soap, and this one, according to BI’s website, is made of healthy things like:
“Saponified organic palm kernel oil, organic sunflower oil, organic virgin coconut oil, organic cocoa butter, organic shea butter, organic flax seed oil, french green clay, poppy seeds, sweet basil essential oil (fragrance), titanium dioxide (natural colorant), and rosemary oleoresin (natural preservative).”
I will say this, it lasts a very long time in the shower and still smells good almost a month after I started using it.
To receive your free bar, just comment below. If you tweet or facebook this contest, put down another sweet comment telling me so. I’ve made it easy for you with the “share” button below. The winner will be chosen by a random number generator, so the more you share, the more chances you have to win.
Contest ends next Wednesday, August 4, 2010, at Noon CST. Be sure to give me your email address so I can hook you with the lovely Shayna or Judith at BI.
Good luck.

With as hot and humid as it’s been around here this entire summer, I could definitely use this soap. Here’s to more gardening, ending with a sweet smelling shower.
I need that soap! It sounds wonderful, Dee!
Tweeting this too!
I was busy weeding earlier, too. This sounds like it smells heavenly!
I pulled up Bermuda grass this morning and definitely could have used some good soap!
I come home from work leaving purse and whatever in the car with the doors still open, go to the garden and start admiring the beautiful flowers and then get up close, noticing weeds and start pulling bare handed. Even though I’ve been told a hundred plus times not to do that. I’m forever cleaning my grubby little paws!
Sounds awesome. I’m in!
Sounds like a great way to end a session playing in the garden! Thanks!
sure could use
Well it would seem we all would love a bar of soap.Never one to be left out.Something different always intrigues me.I hope I win one. Have a beautiful day.

Hmmm — am I the only guy commenting on this giveaway?? LOL!

Anyone who gardens knows the word “grunge” is every so appropriate! Would love to have this.
Sounds exquisite!
Sounds like an interesting smell. I just love soaps! Thanks so much for the giveaway!
Just tweeted it Dee!
I LOVE gardening. What a neat soap!!
I’m wondering if this soap smells even more divine than it looks?! I can smell it already!!
I love handmade soap and would love to try yours. Thanks!
This sounds like something I need! Grubby hands clean and smelling good!
Please count me in for the give away. This is something I could use.
I just starting gardening in containers with my two daughters. We love to get muddy but mommy would like us to get clean in a natural way.

I love the scent of basic and I sure get filthy in the garden.
These types of soap are pretty good. I got a free sample from a coworker who makes, or at least made, soap as a business. She still makes some for friends but no longer massproduces any.
Poppies are a really good idea for scrubbing agents although I haven’t had many seeds from the ones I planted.
I sent some to my Mom but would love to try it myself.
I have never tried a natural soap, your description of this one sounds wonderful.

Sounds like really good soap, I do get pretty grubby in the garden.
Wow I’ve been trying to win one of these on like 3 different blog contests! Lucky number 4? 🙂
Sounds great. Is it for body, face or just hands?
This would be great to clean the dirt from under my nails after working in my garden!
I am so fond of natural soaps — especially ones that are fellow-gardener approved. Going to tweet this giveaway now, Dee. 🙂
Go organic!!!
Yum! I just k=love sweet smelling soap.
Hey Dee – I sure could use that soap in my backyard bathtub! Tee hee

I was washing my hands after a long afternoon of weeding and thinking to myself someone should make gardeners soap. So cool to see it exists.
