Cookie Monster UNLEASHED!!!
Well it happened yesterday….we just could not hold him back! The cookie monster unfurled all his weight and we buckled…..we now we have more pounds of cookies than we could know what to do with! Come pick up YOUR Christmas basket of Yummy-All-Organic-TASTY (ask him yourself) Christmas Cookies - Pecan Fingers, Shortbread, Cherry Nuggets, Drop PB and CaCao, Chocolate Chip, Peanut Butter…YUM!
Oil of Oregano IN!
Our TOP NOTCH oil hand crafted by Herbal Symphony (Joy and Chris our herbalist’s new company) just for Nature’s Gardens Oil of Oregano is on the shelves! YEAH! I sure can not tell you this actually works, because it has never been evaluated by the almighty FDA, BUT historically in our home and millions of others this oil has stopped illness IN IT’S TRACKS. Yup, at the onset of that pesky cold, cough or illness, a few drops under the tongue a couple times has done the trick for us. My opinion? glad you asked….EVERY home should have this mighty wonder! This, Echinacea, Tea Tree Oil and Homeopathy is about all we have in our home. THANKS Herbal Symphony! And to the rest of you…just WAIT until you see what we are all up to! Chris is dedicated to releasing the very BEST tinctures made with the best ingredients under the sun. We sure have a wonder when it comes to herbalists in our midst.
Vanilla to SIP
While on the subject of Herbal Symphony, last night Chris and Joy brought in the vanilla extract they have been “brewing” (no heat required, I just liked the word) and it BLEW THE OTHERS OFF THE SHELVES! I will keep the varieties up front so just ask to smell the difference, and heck, you can taste the difference if you want. We are letting it steep another month or so before we start selling it, but we could easily sell it today as the best vanilla I have ever tasted!
Salmon Patties
I was asked by a rather large outfit to make salmon patties for them to sell throughout the state. As we were making them, we felt very impressed to just sell them here at our store. We do not want to run faster than we are able, and we never want to compromise quality so…now we have YUMMY salmon patties you can just eat off the plate in our freezer! (cook first silly) We have made many as samples and have had HUGE reviews even from those who professed to not like salmon! Grab some for the holidays! We use fresh Keta Salmon caught in the pristine waters of ALASKA. NO farmed salmon here! Hand made all organic Blackout Burgers, Garden Burgers and now Salmon Patties all just $2.25 each in our freezer. YUM!
Body Butters, Hand Sanitizers, Room Sprays, Carpet Fresheners and MORE!
All the above and more now available made by us for you! Our Aroma therapist (Pat Molter) and I have been trying to get these on the shelves for months….and we finally did. The hand sanitizer is INCREDILE as it nourishes your hands as well as kills unwanted germs. Made in an Aloe Vera base, this is WONDERFUL! The body oils are GREAT too. Use after your shower and your skin will never feel the same!

PRODUCTS
Gifts in a jar for sale - ready to give as gifts!, ASIAN pears are in and if you haven’t had one yet…you are missing out! Roger brought me one of the first ones from the shipment…and low and behold it had a secret message written on the bottom – kiss me – now how did that get there? My FAVORITE pear ever! Minerals for helping to alkalize that body of yours, more test strips for pH balance, and many new items!
EXPO EXCITEMENT
The booths are filling up! We are excited for the April Holistic Health, Emergency Preparedness and Green Living Expo! The seminars will be terrific! I sure hope we can tape them all somehow. I don’t want to miss a single one! If you know of anyone interested in having a booth, have them contact us soon. This will be a show like NO OTHER.
Religious Discrimination?
Call it what you want, but I have been trying to work with three locals companies to sell their products at our store. For reasons just lately brought to light by a variety of sources, they will not sell to our store! Well, too bad for them! Our clients are the best! So, in light of the fact that nothing holds my faith down, we are going to make our own raw sauerkraut, coconut kefir and custards and kombuka drinks for you! Now, we have the licensed kitchen…BUT I have never made these items on a large scale! IF YOU or anyone you know can help us with recipes, suggestions or know how, please call us! These are all products we want to offer to you as you continue on the road to an alkaline rich– illness free body! We will make these items with all organic ingredients, and all raw when we can. When in New York I tasted a variety of sauerkraut from a local farmer there. There is nothing out here like it, so perhaps this is our time to explode with Raw Krauts for those living in WI!
This has caused me to reflect on some things. I studied religion in college, and enjoy learning of all faiths under the glorious sun. One thing I will hold as an absolute truth: BY THEIR FRUITS YE SHALL KNOW THEM. Someone who follows a Savior or a God that is full of love - is full of love. And as a gardener I know one other absolute fact: A field that has more dung thrown on it produces a great crop! Gotta love the compost!
MERRY CHRISTMAS
Our family would love to thank you for your support this past year. It has been an amazing journey, and we cherish the road….every mile….we spend growing with you!
Enjoy this time of year as we celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ, our Savoir!
Roger, Karen, Jenna, Allysa, Eric, Emily, Roger II, Taylor, Amy, Julia, RoseMarie, and LillyMay!

Snow Day, Dinner, SALES!
SNOW DAY COMING!?
Stop in today or Early Tuesday and stock up for the fun! (Snow should be fun!) Hot cocoa, Frozen Cookie Dough’s, Pancake mixes (our new 10 grain pancake mixes come out Tuesday!) get the menu ready and some shelves stocked. ALL CHICKEN is 10% off! BIG SALES in the meat section! Discontinued Spaghetti sauces and paper products as well! One of our suppliers has come out with their own brand of products, and we are bringing them, in! You will enjoy their new product line and it is FAR LESS EXPENSUVE than 7th Generation, Seeds of Change and other leading organic and green living friendly companies. So look for the sale items we currently carry as we bring in our new lines!
Heavenly Holiday DINNER!
Celebrate with us as we appreciate a decade of development here at The Gardens Wedding Center and Nature’s Garden Health Center! My five children and I moved here December 18th 1999 as we needed a new beginning. Our lives found new breath as we began developing our talents and lives here on 175. Roger and his three children followed in the summer of 2000, as our college friendship pulled us through dark family circumstances. Roger moved into the school building and his children moved in with us! We were engaged later that year and married at the very end of 2000. Life has been absolutely wonderful, and we have grown to appreciate every detail in our relationship to each other, and with others. Two more children blessed our home, and we are living…...happily ever after! (Happily does not mean without trials…I once had someone tell me that I would be blessed with trails. Now we look at trials as blessings we can grow from!) MENU: (Vegetarian)Savory Sweet Carrots, Garlic and Chive Mashed Potatoes(mild) , Fresh Pomegranate and Walnuts Spinach salad (RAW), Rita Slaw (RAW), and dessert is your choice of a delicious Brownie (Raw) with nuts, Vanilla Ice Cream (Raw) or Pumpkin Pie! Cost: $7.99! Add yummy Chicken and Gravy for an additional $2.99!
OIL CLASS MOVED!
Our oil Gifts for Christmas class has been moved to this Friday at 7:00 PM. Come for dinner at the café and enjoy the class as well! Class $15.00, Vegetarian Dinner and Class $20.00! All essential oil gifts range from $3.00 - $5.00. A night you will not want to miss! Please call or email to register!
Antioxidants ANYONE!?
Raw cacao powder more than TRIPLES the antioxidants found in Acai Berries or Goji Berries and provides over 540% more than that of blueberries! And guess WHAT! It is GREAT added to your green drinks! Try adding ¼ - ½ cup RAW CaCao Powder (we sell it of course) to YOUR green drink and you will just flip (I did this morning in my kitchen!) at the TASTE! Raw cacao is also the #1 food to find magnesium, and provides 314% of the iron you need in just 1 ounce! I could go on and on, but most of you have heard me preach Cacao so….let’s leave it at this. EAT Cacao! It will turn off that appetite fast because it is jam pack FULL of minerals! RECIPE: 2 leafs kale, 1 leaf chard, large chunk cabbage, 2 stalks celery, handful spinach, 1/8 of a pineapple, 2 bananas, 2 teas livin greens (an amazing superfood green powder we make at NG)and ¼ - ½ cup cacao!
We Deliver!
Do not let the SNOW and BLIZZARDS keep you in the dark, we deliver! Call in an order over$75.00 and we will bring it to you! A delivery charge will be applicable, just ask! Order produce, supplements, ZuZu’s to go, frozen meals, fresh bread and count on us to get it to you.

Bring in your receipt with our store code and let us pay you for getting a great blender for a great price! BEWARE of any on line store selling these blenders for less than $399.00. They are NOT approved and will not have a warrantee! So Santa, have we been naughty or nice?

OPEN HOUSE THIS SUNDAY!
Please join our family for a Christmas Open House this Sunday December 6th from 2:00 PM – 7:00 PM at our home! We live right next to the church (north side) and use the same parking lot. Bring a dish to pass (yes, healthy) and enjoy the company of many people from around the area. These are GREAT people, and we are so excited for you to meet each other! We have had many RSVP (not that you need too) so it is stacking up to be a very enjoyable day!
We Need YOU!
I still remember that large sticker of Uncle Sam pointing right at me that hung on my parents bar refrigerator. He was so scary! But, the tone it set for us to remember the military was great! Now, we don’t need military action, I just liked the phrase……BUT we do need YOU! December was our worst month last year, and we can not let that happen again! We NEED you to shop at our store, so please do not let your guard down regarding your health during this season. The NUMBER ONE thing you can do to avoid any sickness is to have a HEALTHY strong immune system. That is easily done by eating an alkaline diet and keeping up with Vitamin D3, Green Drinks and your Probiotics! Your health is your wealth!
Last Thanksgiving was our business time of the year! As we prepared for a very busy Thanksgiving at the store this year, we sure bought a lot of food. Imagine our surprise when our sales were so small! Now all is said and done and….we still have a lot of food! Many of you know we pay for our entire inventory as it is delivered (few exceptions) so our money is sitting on our shelves….thus we Need YOU! Please consider shopping for your Nutritious Great Tasting, Jam Packed of Living Enzymes, Freshly Picked Produce, Home Made Bakery and Organic Grocery SOON! THANKS!! the management J
Details, Details, Details……
December Shopping Incentive started yesterday! For every $100.00 you spend between now and Christmas you will receive a $10.00 Gift certificate! (the last newsletter said $6.00… typo!) Please SAVE your receipts and bring them in from December 18th – December 24th and pick up Gift Certificates for the last minute gifts…or use for yourself!
Oils for Gifts!
Next Tuesday is our oil class where YOU can make gifts for Christmas! Pat has been busy ordering supplies, so we are al in for a great treat! Come prepared to make body sprays…..
HERB MANIA!
Last nights class was AWESOME! We all have decided we could listen to Chris speak for eternity… ( almost) so guess what! We are organizing a five week class where we will learn in-depth the healing power of herbs! More information will be coming. This class will run every week for five weeks starting in February. We will keep you posted on cost and what is all covered. We are VERY lucky to have his knowledge as part of our team. Chris and Joy are amazing individuals, and we are thankful for their support and friendship. The classes are being proposed for Saturdays starting in February from 2:00 PM until 6:00 PM. Comments or suggestions on times are still welcome.
PLOWING
As the winter season will eventually start…..we need a plow! We have used the same individual for years, but would enjoy giving the money to someone who shops at our store. If anyone is interested in plowing for us, please contact us ASAP!
MEAT!
We have seen a reduction in the sales of meat, poultry and dairy....probably because we do not rank it high on the need list. However, if you are going to enjoy meat, poultry and dairy, you want to eat free range, grass fed, organic if possible products! We still have a wonderful selection of local meats and poultry, and they reflect lower prices through December. The farmers we buy from are very good people, and their meats are the best! During the next two weeks we will be putting many items on clearance, as we do a final sale at the end of the year to lower the inventory! Keep your eyes open!
Nativities!
This Friday and Saturday from 6 pm until 9 pm you can view over 400 nativities! The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints has an entire building full of nativities from around the world. They are arranged in different theme rooms, and are just amazing. This is the fifth year we have offered this to the community, and it is GREAT! Truly this is a wonderful way to bring Christ into Christmas during the rush of December. Please stop in and enjoy beautiful music from area vocalists and artists, refreshments, and over 400 nativities. On Saturday Eric (our 18 year old son) (wait, we have two 18 year old sons...) (ok, he is the oldest 18 year old son) is the angel in the live nativity, so smile or wave! Sunday the nativity is open from 1pm until 4 pm. Children are welcome and the building is wheelchair accessible and free! 120 W Paradise Drive, West Bend WI
