  Lavender has been cultivated for thousands of years and still grows wild in long forgotten places. It is a plant that has always been beloved of gardeners, careful homemakers and apothecaries. Commercially grown in vast fields, in Southern France and Eastern England, it looks like a misty blue lake and the air is heavy with its scent, and yet lavender is equally at home in a pot on the kitchen window sill. Grown domestically in a shrubbery or flowerbed or used to form small hedges around a herb or kitchen garden, lavender is that rare gift of nature in which nothing is wasted.
