📢 Our beloved Lavender is back!
Looking to add fragrance and beauty to your garden? Look no further than Lavender! We have both French and English varieties available. French Lavender is easy to spot with its unique "bunny ears" on top of the flowers.
Both types are low-maintenance evergreen shrubs. They'll fill your garden with gorgeous blooms and a calming scent and their silvery-green foliage provides year-round interest.
For a compact and bushy plant, prune your Lavender once a year. This can be done in late summer or early spring. Simply use sharp secateurs to remove spent flower stalks and about an inch of new growth, making sure some green remains.
Established plants can handle this easily.
Lavender loves the sun and dry conditions, making it a great partner for Oregano, Celosia, Rudbeckia, and Rosemary.

Is it just me, or has this spring been a rollercoaster? Rain one minute, sunshine the next, then back to chilly winds! ☀️️
But hey, at least for the plants it's kind of perfect! All that rain means good hydration, and the cooler temps prevent things from drying out too quickly. Plus, a little sunshine every now and then doesn't hurt either.
Anyone else feeling a little jealous of their flourishing gardens rigIs it just merIs it just##bringonthewarmerdayswarmerdays
