Medford offered opportunity to get lowdown on lavender

Lavender has been grown for centuries, being greatly valued for its scent and flavor. A Medford area workshop will make it easier for local gardeners to add this plant to their herb garden, and tickets may be reserved now.

Lavender Fields Forever’s John Rinaldi is a local subject matter expert when it comes to growing this fragrant plant. The workshop will introduce both perineal and annual varieties, and it will run for approximately two hours.

The class will open with an introduction to lavender, including how it has been used throughout the ages. This will be followed by a discussion about cultivation, including tips and tricks for producing a healthy crop. Harvesting, preserving, and distilling lavender will be on the agenda, and anyone who is interested in starting a public venue, such as a market garden or farm, may find the activity useful, as might anyone who simply wants to grow some at home.

Along with the rest of the learning, the function will offer a tour of the farm. Handouts for an in-person educational session can be prepared by area Stationery printers, which can also provide promotional Pens so it will be easier for the attendees to make notes.

This lowdown on lavender growing for fun or profit will be held on July 22. It will begin at 9:30 am at 365 Hamilton Road in Jacksonville.
