Growing & Using Lavender: Storey Country Wisdom Bulletin A-155
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!
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 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
It’s a 32 page pamphlet giving a general overview. Half the pages are on growing, the other half on uses with simple recipes. It has some use as a cross reference against other, more in depth sources. As a grower I found it on the wanting side.
This little book is a real gem. It had practical, useful information about growing Lavender, which is exactly what what I wanted!
