In addition to its great scent and natural beauty, here’s another reason to grow organic lavender in your garden: it makes a great clothesline. Back in the old days, housewives use to lay freshly laundered items like sheets and tablecloths on their lavender hedges to dry. As they did so, they became infused with the lavender oil in the bushes. The result? Wonderfully scented items that added a little spice to the daily life of the household. This is a perfectly safe process; it doesn’t hurt either the flowers or the laundry that’s laid atop them.
