All About Lavender // identifying different varieties, harvesting bundles and removing the buds

Published 2020-07-15
At Okanagan Lavender & Herb Farm, we grow, harvest, dry, distill and infuse over 20 aromatic plants to make the ingredients for our small batch botanical products: www.okanaganlavender.com/

Our Workshop Wednesday series highlights our favourite herbs from the garden and how they can be used to create lovely products with simple ingredients you probably already have on hand at home!

In this video, we show you how to identify different varieties of lavender, harvest fresh lavender into bundles and remove the buds for cooking and crafting!

We also have a couple of lavender recipes on our blog:
- Lavender Ice Cream: www.okanaganlavender.com/blogs/news/lavender-ice-c…
- Lavender Hot Chocolate: www.okanaganlavender.com/blogs/news/lavender-hot-c…

    I didn't realise Lavender had so much more use, than using the scent for stress relieve and keeping pests away such as mozzies, and help to relieve headaches I wouldn't have thought you can use it in cooking etc, very interesting learning, and love the respect for the bees, don't see enough of that unfortunately...
