In a recent visit to Tokyo, my wife visited a departmental store and was given several stalks of lavender. It was promoting the use of its essential oil. "Flowers and leaf-stalks can be dried for perfuming bed-linen and to keep moths away from your clothes. Lavender essence is used commercially in the perfume, soap and pharmaceutical industries. Dried lavender is packaged in small cloth sacks and sold worldwide. Dried lavender is also used for cooking and for herbal cures. There is a strong cottage industry in the Beyond region of lavender products." (www.beyond.fr/floral/lavender.html) We look forward to visiting a lavender farm in the near future.
