    Lavender is a favorite among gardeners and herbalists alike. It is a beautiful, fragrant plant that adds height to almost any garden. At Chesterhaven Beach Farm, we have planted well over a thousand lavender plants in the past five years. Some plantings have been more successful than others, but they are always beautiful. When harvesting, we cut the lavender stems at the base – it is the best way to cut lavender. Then we hang the cut in a dark, air-conditioned room and let it dry. Once the lavender is dry, we remove the bud from the stem by hand and pack it in an airtight freezer bag and freeze it for future use. Our harvests are so large that we have to find new ways to use lavender. We love adding them to as many of our products as possible, but have also found refreshing ways to use lavender around the house. Below is a simple recipe for a lavender tonic. You can use this spray as a facial or body toner or as an aromatic spray on your pillows, sheets, and blankets. The scent relaxes the mind and soothes the skin.
