I planted a lavender bed in 2000 and waited for several years before it filled out into a brush stroke of purple buds at the entrance of the hotel. I love the smell of Lavender on a balmy night on the North Fork. It reminds me of summers and Autumn in Provence where lavender grows between the [...]
