Lavenderis seen in many an English garden and was used in ancient Egypt for all sorts of purposes such as embalming and cosmetics, massage oils and medicines. It is definitely an old favourite with its dark green leaves and lovely flowers which when picked can be dried and used for so many things such as scented cushions to put in draws to make underwear smell sweet, or to hang in wardrobes to keep clothes smelling nice.
Lavender is also to be found in bath oils, soaps, body rubs, and is even used in cooking to make scones and cakes. It certainly is the most versatile of plants and more importantly stands strong in gardens and smells so sweet, oh yes this is indeed a great favourite of all gardeners.
