This little gem is so full of useful information,

This review is from: Growing & Using Lavender: Storey's Country Wisdom Bulletin A-155 (Storey Country Wisdom Bulletin) (Paperback)
This little gem is so full of useful information it puts the other books I have on lavender to shame. Not only does it discuss the many varieties of lavender and their history and growing wants/needs. But one learns how to propagate, trim and use the various lavenders be it in bath items or medicinally, cooking or as gifts. I grow lavender and make various things from the plants but really want to try making the 'Net sachets' shown on page 24 which are gorgeous!

Lavender grower,
By Lavender Lane (WA, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Growing & Using Lavender: Storey's Country Wisdom Bulletin A-155 (Storey Country Wisdom Bulletin) (Paperback)
This is a brief bulletin of information but still quite helpful. Ms. Barrett touches on the types, the maintenance and the uses of lavender. It's a small book, but I found tips and recipes in here that were missing in other lavender books. It's plain and simple, short and sweet. A very good basic reference book.

This review is from: Growing & Using Lavender: Storey's Country Wisdom Bulletin A-155 (Storey Country Wisdom Bulletin) (Paperback)
This summer I planted 80 lavender plants in honor of my mom who recently passed away. This book has been a major part of the success my garden has achieved, with 2 harvestings of lavender to date. An excellent resource and inspiration for how to grow and use lavender
