Lavender is one of my favorite fragrances and there are so many wonderful things you can do with this flowering herb. Use lavender in beauty products; use it as a garnish in salads or as an herb when cooking. Bake them into cookies and breads to enhance the flavor of food. You’re probably familiar with two types of lavender … English Lavender and French Lavender. English lavender is the more widely used of the two, tolerating cold weather better than its French counterpart. I love any kind of lavender and today I’m sharing 13 DIY lavender projects you’re sure to love!
Thanks to my blogging friends who submitted their lavender projects to be added to the list!
As an herb or fragrance, lavender is thought to calm your nerves, relieve anxiety, and even help you sleep.
