Lavender and garden

Lavender is also enjoyed to beautify the garden. It occupied an important place in Middle Age herb and aromatic garden, and has always been the setting for beehives. It also appeared quite early on in decorative, pleasure gardens even in high latitudes.
Due to all these qualities, and because it evokes the luminous south, lavender continues to be widely used in today's gardens.
