There is something achingly beautiful about fields of Lavender…
Row upon row…
Field after field…
Well, I don’t have a whole field but we have had good success with growing lavender at Hoop Top House.
I wanted to harvest some for drying and keep some in the gardens to look at and enjoy…
Last night I cut small bunches and hung them from jute. They will gets lots of air movement and have the protection of the overhang.
My Pinterest board Lavender Love has lots of stunning and unexpected ideas for using lavender…

My lavender harvest is quite modest but I am ridiculously proud of it!!
The gardens are lush right now… we have had lots of rain and humidity.
These beauties make me smile.
We are really enjoying sitting out back and relaxing in the evenings surrounded by the blooms and birds…
