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.

    I always like to find the websites of the garden ideas you share with us. Quite hot out there today and any soap is gonna get a work-out on the sweat I exude.

    I just found your blog today and I am loving it! I would love to try this soap. I have all the stuff to try making my own soap, just haven’t found the time yet!

    I was given some “gardener’s soap” once that turned out to be full of artificial fragrance and color…this sounds so much better!

  39. Barbara J says

    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 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!

  47. Tom says

    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.

    hey dee,

    i haven’t been home since buffalo so i haven’t tried my soap but i love the smell when i came home and unpacked wafting out of my suitcase. it sounds like it is perfect. i enjoyed meeting you in ny. i’ve been in fl welcoming my new grandbaby and helping her mommy.

  54. Melody says

    A man who used to work with my husband would send me samples of the organic soap his wife made. I loved the soaps and have used them all up. Now I know where I can buy some:)

  56. Rita M says

    Anyone who gardens knows the word “grunge” is every so appropriate! Would love to have this.

  58. Kim H. says

    Sounds like an interesting smell. I just love soaps! Thanks so much for the giveaway!

  61. Kristi says

    I’m wondering if this soap smells even more divine than it looks?! I can smell it already!!

  65. Dana Langer says

    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.

    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.

  73. Deb says

    This would be great to clean the dirt from under my nails after working in my garden!

  74. Meredith says

    I am so fond of natural soaps — especially ones that are fellow-gardener approved. Going to tweet this giveaway now, Dee. 🙂

  79. debbie says

    oh yea i will share on facebook as well! Basil poppyseed sounds scrumptiously aromatic!

  82. Kristi says

    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.
