Immerse yourself in the relaxing, restoring scent of lavender for an afternoon. We will discuss how to grow lavender successfully, including propagation techniques and pruning. We will look at several different varieties of lavender and discuss its many uses and healing properties. We will demonstrate how to make lavender wreaths, and make lavender wands and lavender oil for you to take home. We will also share our favorite lavender recipes and sample some lavender shortbread and lavender lemonade.
