The lavender starts with Margery’s own plants; over 300 of them. She’s got 14 varieties of English and French lavenders. She was kind enough to educate me on some of the differences between them. English is the first to bloom as it likes a cooler, damper climate. That makes perfect sense since it came from England. The French lavender loves a hot, diy summer and won’t bloom until about a month later, probably mid to late June. The good news is that both English and French lavender thrive in our Rappahannock climate.
While lavender is what she started with and is the basis for almost everything she does, Margery grows other herbs here as well. They get combined with the lavender for Herbes de Provence. And both the lavender and the other herbs show up in a selection of oils, vinegars and vinaigrettes as well as lavender honey.
