Debates are unfolding in our orchard about planting more lavender bushes.
The lavender fans make a strong case:
It’s not just a hit with honeybees — bumblebees and solitary bees love it too. It blooms for a long time, offers easily accessible pollen, and supports pollinators all season.
The proposal? Grow more lavender, dry the flowers, and create cotton sachets as fragrant takeaways for employees and visitors.
