Almost Spring 2024!
Yes, we do have a few pounds of dried sweet angustifolia Lavender, food grade, for sale...Please call Lynda 250-474-5767 for inquires.
Otherwise, it's that crazy March weather...one moment sunshine, the next silly flurries. Sigh.
Weather permitting, it's tidy up time, and yes, that includes trimming & shaping your Lavender bushes from any winter damage or straggly stray arms.You can do a heavy reshaping, easily removing up to one third. Angustifolias can be trimmed even deeper but not your Lavandins or Spanish lavenders. Your Spanish lavender can start blooming by early April once the weather reliably warms up, especially night time temperatures. Deeper trimming may delay your bloom time by a week or so but worth the strong new growth. Questions? Don't hesitate to call or email Lynda@happyvalleylavender.com.
PS:I am setting up classes for Lavender of course, plus Edible Flowers, Blending Teas and Aromatherapy at Patio Gardens on West Saanich Road starting in April! I will be posting the dates here; check www.patiogardens.ca or call 250-652-8338
We are here as a resource to keep Lavenders abundant in everyone's gardens.
