Since ancient times, lavender has been known for its therapeutic
properties. Today, this beloved Old World herb from the mint family has found
its way into our gardens, around our homes, into crafts and cosmetics and chefs
around the world are re-discovering how to cook with it. Florence will demonstrate
how easy, economical and fun making your own organic lavender lip balm can be.
