lavender: from soil to sachet
DESCRIPTION
You don't need to travel to France to enjoy fragrant lavender. Growing this ancient herb of love and devotion can be fun and profitable, even in your own backyard. From aromatherapy to culinary delights, from medicinal treatments to housekeeping tips, the versatility of this herb is unrivalled. Coursework includes discussion of plants to propagation, soil to sachet and tips on how to start your own lavender-growing business. After retiring from more than 20 years in business management, Susan Harrington reclaimed a backyard overrun with Scotch broom and blackberries to grow a small-scale, “surprisingly successful and profitable” lavender business. She has already shared her knowledge with more than 150 students in the US, Canada, Mexico and Europe through this online course.TRANSCRIPT
