Did you know that it was the Romans that brought Lavender to Britain?  Its scientific name is Lavandula Angustifolia.

As a herbal tea, the dried flowers soothe fatigue, stress and tension, while the stems and leaves are made into essential oil. You can make homemade oil. (Visit Herbal and Herbs in Personal Care for more information.)  

Lavender requires full sun and watering every other day (or when soil is partly dry). Nourish it by putting organic fertilizer monthly.  (Visit Plant Care for more information.)
