Lavender has been used for centuries for many purposes. Lavender flowers can be found in bath salts, teas, baked goods, oils, and other products. This workshop is an exploration of the history of lavender and it's uses, and tips for how to grow it successfully in your garden.  

In this workshop, you'll learn how to create a lavender wand* from freshly harvested lavender stems. During class, snack on lavender goodies and lavender lemonade, make new friends and pick up laminated recipe cards. If you are looking for something relaxing to do on a weekend, we hope you will join us!
