I received an advanced copy of Lavender For All Seasons by Paola Legarre.

This was a beautiful book full of information on different types of lavender. It gives a history on Paola’s lavender journey and her knowledge into the plant in general.

It details how to select the variety you will need to plant for your needs, growing, caring, harvesting and using the lavender. It also has chapters for cooking and crafting with lavender. I’m adding the recipes for simple lavender syrup and lavender honey to my recipe collections as they look delicious.
