We have a lavender farm nearby and they sell these wonderful lavender wands and other lavender products. Lavender seems like a good fit for our market garden, and I’ve been trialing a few varieties to see which do best. I appreciate all the weekly videos from Peaceful Valley, but especially this one. It was nicely done, lots of information, all of it helpful and succinct. Now I’m ready to try making some lavender wands. I’m sure my 12 yr. old daughter, who loves both lavender and crafts, will take this on with gusto! Thanks for sharing, and keep up the good work - and yes, we agree, grow organic for life!
