Lavender essential oil is produced by steam distilment using only the flowers of the lavender plant. Lavandula officinalis creates a more complex and hoped essential oil, but is more pricey because of the trouble in creating it.

Have fun with your kids while doing something useful – container gardening! This will certainly help keep them from getting bored and they will love learning how to plant in garden pots. And, seriously, what could possibly be better than getting their little hands dirty while growing their own food. They might just be inclined to try some new foods they wouldn’t ordinarily try (I know this works since I saw it happen with my own 6-year old son.)
An Enchanted Place that makes Vienna Smile At this time of the year, I walk out into my garden every morning. It is one small step out of the kitchen door on the terrace, and three and a half steps from the terrace to the grass with its light green,…
