Pro-tip: Cooking with Lavender Leaves
In many recipes, lavender leaves can be used in place of fresh rosemary! Simply cut and dry them!
At Neushwander’s Nursery, we make sure to harvest the Lavender before the buds open, after they open they lose a lot of their oil, this ensures our customers the best lavender for their desired projects.
Dried lavender can be combined with many other plants and flowers to create a unique fragrance and beautiful decor for your home. Have you tried any of these ideas? Let us know how it went in the comments!
