My parent's backyard patch of lavender.It is growing everywhere, comes up in the rock patio, lines the entire flowerbed....but why won't it grow for me?
My attempt at a Lavender Wand!It was Lavender Day's in Mona, Utah this past weekend. My parents took my son, daughter-in-law and grandkids to the Young Living Farm last year and they loved it. This year everyone was to busy to make the trip, but I spent some time studying up on lavender. Jason has taken lots of pictures of the lavender patch growing in my parent's backyard, and I am very jealous that I just can't seem to make it grow.
I'm giving it another try, so today I bought English Lavender(Lavandula Violet Intrigue). This is supposedly the most hearty variety and grows well in Utah. I snatched a few stems after planting and made a lavender wand. My hands smell heavenly and and the aroma will soon fill my lingerie draw.

Well, you inspired me. i am off to find me my own lavendar plant. Not sure that I will attempt the wand, but what a fun idea. I know I can make sachets.
Inspiration comes in so many ways. Blogging has given me new purposes. Valley Nursery is where I purchased my plants. My dad said they are just weeds, this sage brush and growing like it in his back yard. However, my blog inspired him too, he put a small tray with potting soil under his plants this morning to catch the seeds.
