Growing Lavender in the Garden

Healing benefits aside, lavender has numerous benefits for the garden.

Lavender isn't a fussy plant, as long as it has a sunny spot and well-drained soil it will happily flourish and produce scented blossoms. Only requiring deep watering when the soil is dry, the plants only need to be pruned back to prevent them from becoming straggly.
