How to Dry Your Home Grown Lavender
HOW TO 
Tags: Lavender, Home Grown Lavender, Dry Lavender
You can easily dry lavender flowers for use inside the home and enjoy the fragrance all year round!
| 1. | Get a pair of sharp garden shears and a ball of string. |
| 2. | Cut matured lavender flowers just above the leaves, getting the longest stem possible on the flower. |
| 3. | Without crushing the stems, tie each flower separately, close to the cut end with a long piece of string. Leave about 3/4" between each stem. This will ensure that when you hang them to dry, air will be able to circulate and that the lavender will not rot or go moldy while drying. |
| 4. | Tie the ends of your string together to form a loop. |
| 5. | Hang the chain of lavender, ensuring the flowers point toward the floor, in a dark dry place for about a month. |
| 6. | Untie the lavender from your piece of string when it's dry, and use in dried flower arrangements, or chop up for potpourri. |
