First Sentence
Most sources list the Mediterranean area, Greece, France, Spain, and the North African coast as the native habitat of lavender, but several botanist think that India also may have been part of the native range. Read the first page

I Love This Book! 7 Jun 2003

By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com

Format:Paperback

I am new to cultivating lavender and I took this book out of the library only to find that it is INVALUABLE and I had to purchase a copy for my home. I refer to it again and again.

The author is very knowledgeable and covers a variety of topics which are all of interest to me. Her writing style is engaging and you can tell the author knows her stuff.

On top of all that, there are beautiful pictures throughout.

This book helped me greatly to learn what variety works best in my home garden. Excellent book and a must-have for anyone interested in lavender. If you are looking for a recipe book look elsewhere--this book is for serious gardeners.

If growing lavendar is what you want to do 7 Jun 2000

By Donkinpa - Published on Amazon.com

Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase

This book is beautifully illustrated and very thorough in its contents about lavendar. Varieties, soil and climate conditions are all covered in this book. But it really wasn't for me. I would have liked to have seen a lot more recipes and uses for lavendar for which there are many more than what was suggested.

disappointing for growers 13 May 2005

By Sharon Crossman - Published on Amazon.com

Format:Paperback

I have been growing lavender for 3 years and bought this book primarily for information about improving the quality of my plants and crop. While Ellen includes interesting projects and tidbits, this book definitely did not meet my needs as a grower.
