My mother, makes lavender biscuits, which is basically a shortbread type of biscuit with lavender seeds in, they are delicious.
Reply:To scent bath water, add a few drops to bath to enjoy the relaxing and soothing aromas of this wonderful


flower, and delicately scent the skin.





-Lavender sachets will fill your drawers and closets with a fresh clean fragrance, (and repel moths at the same


time!) Use lavender as a natural air freshener instead of the chemical filled products saturating the market


today. Walk into your house after a long, hard day and smell the fresh bowl of dried lavender buds on your


coffee table. Kick off your shoes, sit back and place a lavender eye pillow over your eyes. Pamper yourself by


sleeping with a lavender filled pillow.
Reply:dry the flower heads and use it in lavender bags to keep moths away and make everything smell good
Reply:Loverly? Idears? That bugs me...
Reply:Iv`e scraped all my seeds off and put them in a pretty bowl in the bedroom,helps you sleep and smells lovely!
Reply:Tie them in bunches, hang upside down in warm airy place and then put them in clothes drawers or the wardrobe
Reply:Dry the flower heads and put them in pretty pillows, edge with lace and ribbon eetc. that can be put beside your pillow on the bed and help induce sleep. You can give some to family and friends, sell the rest at a car boot or donate them to a residential home for the elderly.





No drugs, but lavender does help induce peaceful sleep and some crafts shops sell them and charge a pretty penny as well.
Reply:You can transplant it to a better location.
Reply:make pot pouri
Reply:Cut it back by 2/3Rd's to make a neat mound use the cuttings dried to make lavender bags put in drawers to keep clothes smelling good, keeps moths away ,a bag by your pillow helps sleep . By cutting back it is still time to get new growth and a late flush of flowers. It is a perennial and will come back year after year don't throw it away
Reply:dry the flowers and use them to scent clothes in drawers and keep moths away. Make a small pillow and stuff with lavender flowers to help you sleep or make some lavender ice cream
