Lavender From Field to Pillow

Janet M. Bryan

A row of purple stems in a garden looks simple, but it holds one of the most versatile plants a home can keep. This is the full account of what lavender offers: how it eases the mind toward sleep, why its oil shows up in so many skin remedies, the difference between culinary and true lavender, and how to dry, store, and use it so the stem does more than sit pretty in a jar. Grounded and practical.
