Since i know the source, then it will be easy to study and recommend.

My husband and I will celebrate our 56th anniversary tomorrow and what remind you of love more than the smell of Lavender.
There is no sweeter smell than lavender. And it tastes wonderful. I use the blossoms in cookies, scones, pound cake and other baked goods. One of the best treats on a hot summer afternoon is a big freezer of vanilla ice cream with lavender blossoms added.
I love it when it is fresh right off the plant but also dried for winter baking or for making wands or sachets. I’m glad to know about this farm. I want to visit them soon.
How great it would be to win the lavender give away. Always have loved that scent.
Washing our bed linens in homemade lavender laundry detergent is our way to a good nights sleep.

Lavender is one of my favorite scents. I use essential oils all over my house and, if in doubt, I always come back to lavender. As a public school teacher, mom of three boys, and wife of a high school basketball coach, relaxation is something I practice every day. Lavender oils help me do this daily. I am interested in expanding my lavender horizons. This would be a great opportunity for me to expand into soaps and laundry detergents.
Always a dream to have a Lavender farm! This prize would inspire me! Lavender heals the heart!
Lavender is so lovely, but I haven’t had much luck growing it. I would love to know a variety that will withstand the humidity here in southeast TN.
