The wonders of Lavender

Yesterday attended a fantastic tutorial given by Richard over at Long Barn (www.long-barn.co.uk).  This enabled me to see close up the many Lavender varieties they grow and propagate.  More importantly it enabled me to finally select the key varieties that will form one of the central themes of the new garden.
My selection of Lavender is: 

Main bed (dimensions 5m x 20m x 3m x 10m x 8m).   

Angustifolia:

• Hidcote
• Blue Ice
• St. Jean

Intermedia:

• Sussex
• Edleweiss
• Gross Bleu

Parterre:

• Bowles x 5 plants needed
• Nana Alba x 5 plants needed
• Beechwood Blue x 5 plants needed
• Lodden Pink x 5 plants needed

Pathways:

• Pathway 1 (10 m each side x 2 = 20m) – Gross Blue (22 plants needed)
• Pathway 2 (5m each side x 2 = 10m) – Sussex (12 plants needed)

So, the order has today been placed and planting will start around the second week of September.
