Little Book of Lavender - Margaret Roberts

Lavender is one of the world's favourite herbs. For centuries, it has been revered for its cleansing qualities and its refreshing fragrance still fills many a room.

She advises on the best conditions for growing the herb, tells you about the different varieties available in South Africa, and gives away some of her favourite recipes for you to try in cosmetics or even in the kitchen. She is full of ideas for making your own natural cosmetics, like lavender water or lavender bath soap. There is also advice on using lavender for fragrance, medicinally, as a companion plant and as a natural insecticide. Margaret Roberts' name has become synonymous with herbs in South Africa.
