Washington Lavender

Lavender Buttercream Frosting with Lemon

Washington Lavender Farm, Sequim, WA
Many, many years ago I grew lavender in my garden. I liked the graceful look of its purple spires, and I adored its refreshing spicy fragrance that wafted up across the yard. But, unlike the rest of my herbs, which I constantly snipped for the kitchen, my lavender just sat there looking pretty.
