No, this isn't Provence but the Lavender Hollow Farms near
Escalon, California. Some gardeners I know won't plant anything that
isn't edible. However, I don't subscribe to that
philosophy. The soul needs to see beauty.
If the gardening muse in you needs order, straight rows of lavender will soothe the mind. In the early morning, the fragrance is also a sensory delight. I couldn't resist walking down the rows of lavender and trying not to disturb the bees hard at work.
Wouldn't you like a spot like this in your garden?
Ummm... Purple. I also bought some lovely lavender and grapefruit lotion, lavender butter cookies and a couple of plants. The cookies were delicious.
I love the color purple (viola in Italian and also the name of the soccer team in Florence, I like them, too.) I wish I had more space to grow lavender in my backyard but at least I won't have to go far for a fix.

I agree! The soul needs to smell beauty, as well. :)
