Lavender has so many uses, especially if you’re crafty. I love making my own soap, cleaning products, candles, and bath products, and lavender has a wonderful fragrance that lends itself to all these items. Some people also use it in desserts, lemonades, and teas. Lavender oil can also be a natural sleep aid and stress reliever. But, a small packet of dried lavender can cost around $5 at a craft store, and it gets used up really fast. So, why not grow your own? If you are interested in adding some lavender to your flower or herb garden, check out these growing tips by Bees and Roses:
-Space the plants 12 to 18 inches apart in an open area to increase sun and good circulation.
-Water deeply, but not too frequently. Wait until the soil is almost dry.
-If you start your plants in a container, make sure they are not too deep, but have adequate drainage.
