Still, feeling groggy after Daylight Saving Time? Lavender might be the answer!

Researchers have found that lavender increases slow-wave sleep, the very deep slumber in which the heartbeat slows and muscles relax.

Just use pure lavender essential oil for a few minutes before bed (put a few drops in your diffuser, or put a few drops on a Kleenex and tuck it under your pillow!) or use a lavender eye pillow.

Happy World Water Day!

Did you know that lavender is a drought-tolerant plant that doesn't require much water to grow? Here are a couple of tips for conserving water and growing beautiful lavender plants.

New plants: When establishing your new lavender plants, water deeply but infrequently. Don’t water your lavender plants every day! Every three days or so for the first month should be lots.

Established plants: Once established, only water your lavender plants when they start to show signs of drought stress (wilting).
