my house smells of lavender today

Yesterday I began to strip lavender buds from the stems of the 2015 Harvest of Lavandula x-intermedia. This is a general purpose grade 1 lavender. This is NOT FOOD GRADE lavender.

Today I am finishing up with the Lavandula x-intermedia and packaging it for market.

LavenderĀ is hand stripped from each bundle over a Riddle and captured in a holding bucket. Some of the larger stems are removed by this screening process and others are removed by hand.

This is what it typically looks like when it’s packaged:
