What is your recommendation for maintenance of lavender during the summer as far as pruning? Or is that something I should do only in the spring?
Thanks so much! Your weekend in July sounds wonderful – relaxing – informative. Hope I can make it over.

Pruning can take place in the fall or spring. Make sure you cut 1 inch from the woody stem. Lavender should be cut back every year.
Please feel free to ask any questions during our U pick weekend.
