I grow an number of different lavenders and one of my favourites.
I got introduced to lavender young due to my Grandma and her wonderful gardens.
It was her favourite fragrance and has been mine, also.
I enjoyed the article, info, and photos much.
Thanks!!!

My pleasure! Thanks for reading and taking the time to let me know you enjoyed it. My grandmother's main love was roses... and my mother-in-law recently put in lavender along the front border of her beautiful rose garden... it's a great combination!

Jill,

As always, you breathe life into an informative article. I had the pleasure of visiting the farm when they were just planting the circular garden. They didn't have nearly the number of plants back then, but it was still a lovely sight. Hope to get there again one day.

Thanks, Pam! How neat to know somebody else had a chance to see the farm in person. I'll try to find a photo of their maze (I think that might be the circular garden you mentioned)... might be on the other computer...
