Info. (and photo) that I found on the web:From ancient Greece to modern times, lavender has become one of the most common and widely used cultivated herbs. And it's no wonder, because it's one of the most versatile, too. All forms of lavender -- essential oil, dried or fresh flowers, aromatic spray, and tea -- are safe to use on all skin types, even young children's delicate skin.
Grow a patch of lavender. Plant a few mounds in a sunny spot around a garden bench or large stone or log. On a hot summer's day, have a seat in your lavender patch. Brush your hands against the plant and inhale the delightful scent wafting through the breeze. Lavender is recommended for people who experience constant stress and overstimulation and find it difficult to relax and unwind.
The essential oil of these lovely, purple, highly fragrant flowers can soothe your soul without sapping your energy. To enhance concentration and promote mental clarity, place a drop on your wrist, the palms of your hands, or the nape of your neck and breathe deeply.
Lavender is a potent antiseptic. Add 2 drops of essential oil of lavender to 1 teaspoon of coconut, almond, olive, or hazelnut oil or aloe vera juice and apply the mixture directly to burns, sunburns, abrasions, insect stings, or inflamed pimples to cleanse and disinfect.
Purchase a bottle of lavender aromatic spray a watery by-product of essential oil distillation -- and spray a fine mist onto your face and hair, and into the surrounding air. Inhale the vapors. The chemical components of the lavender plant have the ability to alter the emotions by influencing the sense of smell, which triggers the region of the brain that deals with memory and mood.

I planted some lavender here and it's doing okay. I don't think the soil is sandy and dry enough for it though. Lavender is drought resistant so it does well with little water. We had a HUGE English lavender plant by the front door of our first home. It was so nice to walk by and smell the wonderful fragrance.
