I was excited to
read The Lavender Companion by Terry Barlin Vesci and Jessica
Dunham. As a gardener, I love growing
herbs and lavender is one of my favorites.
This book is
beautiful, informative, and helpful. The
authors go into detail about the benefits of growing lavender. This herb has many uses in recipes for food and
drinks, seasoning, herbal recipes for bath and skin care, decorating and making
your home more enjoyable with lavender’s lovely fragrance.
I appreciated learning about the history of lavender, the different varieties, and the best growing conditions for each variety. Knowing this information, will help me choose the plant that is most suitable for where I live.
The authors also
share food and drink recipes as well as medicinal or botanical recipes for bath
and body and so much more. I also
enjoyed learning about their lavender farm and how it has grown and developed
over the years. For those who enjoy visiting
gardens and farms, you may want to visit Pine Lavender Farm in Arizona. They have an online shop where you can purchase
and enjoy their products.
I enjoyed reading The
Lavender Companion - Enjoy the Aroma, Flavor, and Health Benefits of
This Classic Herb by Terry Barlin Vesci and Jessica Dunham. I recommend this book for gardeners, those
who enjoy growing herbs, or enjoy trying new recipes with the herbs grown in their own garden. The photographs are beautiful.
I would like to
thank Story Publishing and NetGalley for the opportunity to read
a complimentary copy of The Lavender Companion by Terry Barlin
Vesci and Jessica Dunham. It was a helpful
and enjoyable read and a great reference book.
