'Tis the season for lavender!

With July approaching, the locally grown Michigan lavender is just beginning to bloom. That means, now is the perfect time to source local lavender for all your projects, or just for pure enjoyment!

Lavender is thought to have multiple health benefits. From the Lamiaceae family, lavender is one of forty seven different plants in the mint family. (Who would have thunk?!) It is lauded for reducing stress, improving sleep and even lowering blood pressure and increasing heart health. Our designer, Haley, uses home made lavender oil to help relieve chronic joint pain! She also enjoys an occasional lavender latte from the Coffee Lounge on Oak Street in Wyandotte, just around the corner from us here at Brenda's Biddle Avenue Florist. (Check them out, their baristas are talented and they have amazing artisanal coffee!)

With so many benefits, and a wonderful scent there is no reason not to grab a bundle or two for yourself while it's fresh and available!
We have curated lavender, chamomile and eucalyptus bundles in store while in season! We personally love to hang them in our kitchens for the aesthetics and also in the shower, where the bundles can release their oils and aromas for a therapeutic bathing experience. Nothing like relaxing with some lavender at the end of a long work day.

See you next weekend at the Wyandotte Art Street Fair. Until next blog!
