It’s not always easy, but it’s worth it! 🌱🐝 We feel extra good about cutting back herbs during our peak growing season because there are so many other floral resources around the garden. If all goes as planned, these plants will flower again late in the season when many@of the other flowers are spent for the season 😎♥️ . . . #flowergarden #herbgarden #lavender | Seattle Urban Farm Company

PART 1: Cutting Lavender Bouquets ⬇️ Not sure when it is time to harvest your lavender for bouquets? It’s best to cut lavender when the flowers are beginning to open. This will allow them to last longer in a vase or keep the buds from shedding off the stems if you choose to dry your bouquet. A good sign it is ready is when you see some flowers opening and increased bee activity. ✂️ Gather your tools. You can use scissors or a sickle if you have a lot of plants. You can purchase a sickle on Amazo
