Harper Gardeners
"The soap journey began when I made calendula cream with flowers from my garden". I then went on to make soap. I am also a harpist and during lockdown my duet partner and I began to work on a project of harp duets in our gardens, so we named ourselves the Harper Gardeners and began to sell the soap at concerts as merchandise as well as raising money for charities. The ingredients are all natural products, mostly coconut oil, cocoa butter, apricot kernel oil and shea butter. Enjoy!"
