The Story of Lavender by Sally Festing details the history, origins, and growth in the popularity of lavender, its herbal uses and the rise (and demise) of the industrial-scale cultivation in England. It is a lovely insight into how lavender has come to have such a special place in English hearts. The book has recently been revised to also cover the recent growth in popularity and cultivation of lavender in the UK and in other parts of the world. Contains many colour and black & white photographs.
