Growing and Using Lavender (Storey Publishing bulletin)This little book contains a wealth of information in an easy to read format on the genus 'Lavandula'. I am not necessarily interested in 'using' lavenders but even that section contains quite a lot of useful information. I am actually trying to make a lavender collection so I need to get the cultural characteristics correct for each species as I lost one particularly tender species by overwatering! In summary, this little book is a gem!

This little gem is so full of useful information
12 July 2006
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
This little gem is so full of useful information it puts the other books I have on lavender to shame. Not only does it discuss the many varieties of lavender and their history and growing wants/needs. But one learns how to propagate, trim and use the various lavenders be it in bath items or medicinally, cooking or as gifts. I grow lavender and make various things from the plants but really want to try making the 'Net sachets' shown on page 24 which are gorgeous!

This is a brief bulletin of information but still quite helpful. Ms. Barrett touches on the types, the maintenance and the uses of lavender. It's a small book, but I found tips and recipes in here that were missing in other lavender books. It's plain and simple, short and sweet. A very good basic reference book.

This summer I planted 80 lavender plants in honor of my mom who recently passed away. This book has been a major part of the success my garden has achieved, with 2 harvestings of lavender to date. An excellent resource and inspiration for how to grow and use lavender
