Then and Now …

This week my ’spring border’ was at its peak and I have charted its progress over the past three years. We first looked at this house, with a view to buying it, in the spring of 2006. The outside space ticked many of the boxes;- studio space, shed for Shedman, and a nice sized garden. When I looked around the garden prior to buying the house, this is the area that became the ’spring border’ Spring 2006 By the time the summer arrived and we moved in, everything in the garden had

User Ratings and Reviews

3 Stars It’s a pamphlet
It’s a 32 page pamphlet giving a general overview. Half the pages are on growing, the other half on uses with simple recipes. It has some use as a cross reference against other, more in depth sources. As a grower I found it on the wanting side.

5 Stars concise and practical
This little book is a real gem. It had practical, useful information about growing Lavender, which is exactly what what I wanted!

5 Stars Lavender grower
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.

5 Stars This little gem is so full of useful information
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!

5 Stars Bravo
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
