Sage Hill Farms had its first crop from the new lavender beds this summer.
Nothing compares to harvesting this aromatic herb. From the moment you enter the gardens until you standing in the shower washing away the days collection of dirt, pollen and yes...the last waifs of lavender, your senses are centered on and around the beauty, aroma, and powers of pure relaxation.
Lavender is loved and sought after for many uses among many mediums.
Alternative medicines-both for humans and animals put lavender at the top of the beneficial list of herbal usage.
Wedding planners call lavender the herb of "love."
And...chefs great and greater would never dream of not having lavender in their stash of special recipes.
Lavender Tea biscuits are one of my most loved lavender treats.
These little goodies can go from the playground to the most uptown garden party to a business meeting of suits and briefcases with ease.
