Jardin du Soleil Lavender Farm, Bath & Body Products

Jardin du Soleil Lavender has finished pruning our lavender plants as of a couple weeks ago, but as long as winter frost has not set in, you still have time to prune your own lavender bushes. Winter frost has the potential to damage or destroy your plants if they're freshly pruned, so if frost has set in, you will want to wait until early spring to prune. Not pruning your lavender plants at all will cause your plants to become leggy, woody, and sprawling.

Trim off any dead lavender blooms still on the plant. Take off about 1/3 of the remaining foliage, being careful not to cut into the wood of the plant. Shape the lavender plants into a rounded mound. And come late June or July you should have fragrant, purple lavender flowers! Find more lavender growing tips on our Growing Lavender page.

Hello and welcome back to Jardin du Soleil!

At the farm this week we’ve had spring knocking at our door.  The daffodils are popping up everywhere, looking much like little sunbursts tucked away in small pockets of the farm.  Makes for a very cheery garden!

Also this week, the pond was finished. Still to be added are the plantings around, but here are some up to date photos.  It makes for a nice addition.  Come take a look next time you visit the farm!

Happy Gardening,

Boo
