I love Lavender…the way it looks, the scent…the color!

It’s a beautiful perennial in the garden. It is graceful, does not grow too tall, and is reasonable with medium water needs. Our three varieties are Goodwin’s Creek, Dentata, & Stoechas. Their main blooming season is summer. I love cutting them to go with Roses in a bouquet. Their scents together are heavenly. They do love to be in the sun where they perform the best, and they look great in a cottage garden atmosphere. There are many books on drying lavender, as well as the internet, with simple instructions. I’ve seen so many pictures of Lavender tied with twine and hung upside down to dry in a sunny window. I plan to visit the Lavender fields in Fallbrook next month. It will definitely be aroma therapy at its best. I’ve seen plant magazines with ways to make your own soaps and creams as well. As a Lavender and Rose lover, І usually choose those scents for candles, and lotions. I invite you this season to step into the world of lavender in your garden. I’m sure you will find it very “”scent”ual”.

Hope you enjoy!
